Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s Locksmith Jerry Manning grew up hearing many sea stories from his father who had served in the U.S. Navy onboard submarines. “I grew up hearing all of the submarine adventures that he was on and I used to love listening to my father telling them,” said Manning. “I never served in the Navy, so when I started working at the shipyard about 5 years ago, I went aboard my first submarine, the USS Wyoming (SSBN 742), to conduct some work onboard. I couldn’t wait to get home to call him up to tell him that I’ve been onboard the Wyoming. I think he was just as excited as I was. Not long after that, dad passed, but at least I was able to say ‘Hey, I got to go on the sub,’ before he died.”
