grade eight?

[scirocco16vr32 at gmail.com (Chris Bennett)]

All this talk of fastener grades reminds me of the subsafe program in
the Navy.  The idea is that you want to keep the water out of the
people tank.

I was always told it was an incorrect grade of fastener on the
Thresher that failed allowing a large volume of water into the
switchgear (killing power) but reading about it onlines tells me that
it was an incorrectly brazed joint on a main seawater valve.  Same
effect.

Alrighty then.  Glad to make no point at all,  carry on...

I am sure that Al can correct me.  I was NOT a submariner.  I would
not be able to speak of such things intelligently because I was a
surface weenie (and consequently hete-- um nevermind I won't say it.
LOL)
