Submarine life

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live on a submarine? Or how a submarine creates its own atmosphere? Electronics Technician 2nd Class / Submarines -- ET2(ss) Andrew Renneker, who served on the USS Rhode Island 740 from Fall of 2000 to Spring of 2007 will be addressing these questions and more on Thursday, September 10 at 7:00 pm in the Library Cooper Room.

Renneker will discuss the basic principles of ship organization, submarine systems, life onboard, and experiences while on watch, followed by a question and answer period.

He grew up in Brookings County and graduated from Brookings High School, after which he joined the Navy with the desire to serve on submarines. He is presently retired from the Navy and pursuing a course of study in Sioux Falls.
