Night Vision and Nocturnal Navigation

While attached to the USS LOS ANGELES (SSN688), I had numerous opportunities to experience coming to periscope depth at night.  Approximately one-half hour before coming to periscope depth, the control room would be “rigged for red,” to allow the OOD’s eyes to become accustomed to night vision.  Maybe the OOD should have just smoked a J.

"We knew it gave people the munchies and made them giggle. Now researchers claim to have found a new property in cannabis - it helps us see in the dark.

Scientists made their discovery after becoming intrigued by Moroccan fishermen who not only failed to lose their sense of direction after smoking generous amounts of local kif, a mixture of cannabis and tobacco, but seemed to navigate better on dark nights."

“When spliff gets in your eyes..."
