New here, and I'm a USN submariner. Couldn't resist scanning this topic, of course, but I haven't read all of Russian's links (and links from
those) and will keep my cards close to my chest until I've done so.
I did notice, though, that all of these links go to OTHER discussion boards, which isn't exactly a trustworthy resource. Like anyone with the
slightest modicum of common sense, I'm leery of anything I read online unless it's coming from a relatively reliable source. Most of the quotes I
read on those discussion boards didn't even cite their resources.
However, devilwasp, I CAN easily answer your question. I recently ran across an article in Undersea Warfare about the first American officer
attending the RN Perisher course. Fortunately, the article is still archived here:
www.chinfo.navy.mil...
As far as I know, he's still the only American officer to have attended.
V/R,
