Before the end of "The Evil Soviet Empire" US Tridents and other NATO missile submarines would congregate on occasion for training exercises and live fire of under sea and surface launched missiles. It was great fun fraternizing with the NATO submariners. The most notorious were the Brits. They were great hands at fobbing off a bar bill to their new found Yank friends by disappearing one by one.
