thanks everyone for the kind wishes. haven't seen my 'baby' in almost a year.

That's a funny anecdote about your husband. My uncle was in the Navy (early 1960s). He told me he desperately wanted to be assigned to a submarine and was crushed when he wasn't. Then, some time later, he got to tour one. The first thing he did after getting off was kneel down on the ground and say, "Dear God, thank you for not letting me get put on a submarine!" I love his Navy stories.
