1981 Dependents Cruise - Lahaina - swim call off steel beach.

    Swimming off of the submarine or "Steel Beach" is a long standing tradition among submariners. The announcement to swim, known as "swim call", came rare on the LA and other modern submarines. Today, swim calls are almost unheard of.
