OTHER EXCITING SUBMARINE RELATED LINKS!

Don Shelton's Submarine Homepage The guy who sent me the first pictures I used here back in 1997. Don's got a great website called "Bottom Guns and Targets." Don is a former US submariner, too.

Ron Martini's Submarine World Network (formerly Ron Martini's Navy Submarine Base) This is the "bible" of submarine links. It probably includes over 1,000 links to other submarine sites now. Ron is another former "bubblehead" who has provides a great service to submariners, both here in the US and abroad! As a collector of insignia, I visit his "COMSUBFOREIGN" and other sections often.

Don Palen's On-Line ICBM Catalogue Buy dolphins, Soviet badges and other great stuff! Don is a retired skimmer, but we still love him! ;-) He is not the typical big militaria dealer- his prices are fair and he's honest. He did not pay me to say that, either! I visit Don and Boris the Bear often; so should you!

Contact CDR Ronen David Koehler, IN.Ronen is a former skipper of one of Israel's 3 GAL-class submarines who provided an update on how Israeli insignia are awarded and has kept me in touch with other submariners who have provided information I have passed on via my website and directly to other collectors. He is still on active duty and is a full-time graduate student working on an advanced degree in psychology. I also include a link to Ronen's personal web page. Click here to go there! Lastly, Ronen is the administrative webmaster for the Israeli Dolphin Association of submariners. Uri Dotan maintains their website: Check it out with a click here. Shalom, Ronen!

Alexei Merezhko's Russian and Soviet Militaria website. Lots of stuff for sale. He provided me photos and information on Russian insignia early in my website days. He is often selling items on Ebay, too. If you deal with him, say hi from me!

Israeli Submarine Force Homepage (mostly in Hebrew but there is some English). It is mainly dedicated to the rememberence of the lost lives of their small force. The focus is commemorating the 69 souls lost in 1968 in INS Dakar; it also tells about the daily life on board the boats. Great photos, too!

"STRATEGY" Magazine from Greece.A military magazine from Greece with many interesting links.

All the Embassies of Washington, D.C. A link to them all at your fingertips!

Our US Embassies Overseas A link to the ones on the web!

Sharkhunters submarine history group. A link to the Sharkhunters new website. Visit Harry Cooper's Sharkhunters and see where their next submarine history tour is going, find out what a KTB is and maybe even become a member!

A little submarine humor See some funny bubblehead humor. Well, I think it's funny, anyway!

Third World Submarine article This is a pretty good summary of Third World submarines, written a few years ago. I have read most of the source information and know many of the authors. I have argued with a few of them, too, for overstating their case and "massaging" information to build a threat that was not real. But that was when I worked in Naval Intelligence, and after a two-year tour there from 1990-1992 I still firmly believe Naval Intelligence is an oxymoron!!!!!!

Tory Swanson's submarine insignia page A young LTJG whom I must have inspired. Lots of my jpegs reside there.

Fox Military (Alan Beckman) sells a lot of sub pins. Many are reproductions and restrikes, so ask lots of questions before writing the check. Alan lives in Hinsdale, Illinois, about 75 miles from where I live. I see him every six months at the Midwest Militaire Show outside Chicago. He can be reached at acb@mediaone.net
