"Torpedo in the water!" Edward A. Sierra vividly remembers hearing those terryfying words shouted loudly across the speakers while submerged inside a nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine in the Mediterranean Sea. Ed joined the United States Navy at 17 after graduating from high school in Medford, NY.. Upon completion of an intense two year naval training program, Ed reported to the Electiical Division aboard the U.S.S. Billfist SSN-676. He recalls his journey from boot camp in San Diego to naval schools across the country, and ultimately to his adventures as a Navy Nuclear Power Trained Electrical Operator (Navy Nuke!) serving on the U.S.S Billfish stationed out of Groton CT.
