SSN-670 the USS Finback was the 22nd of 37 Sturgeon-class submarines and one of two subs to test modifcations for the Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV).

"What should have been one of the finer moments in Finback’s career was ultimately overshadowed by one of the more disreputable episodes in the history of the U.S. Navy submarine force. When not busy with the sub’s overhaul, some of her crew frequented a local nightclub (The Cork Club), where they befriended Cathy Susan "Cat" Futch, one of the go-go dancers. Near the end of overhaul, some of the officers thought it would boost crew morale to have her dance on the sub’s diving fin as the boat was towed out of port and past their hated rivals, the ballistic missile submarine Alexander Hamilton (SSBN-617).

Believing that his crew ought to be rewarded for their hard work, Cmdr. Stevenson assented to this idea. Thus, at approximately 0700 on 10 July 1975, Miss Futch took her place on the dive plane (and in Navy history), dropped her mink coat, and, for ten minutes, performed as the sub got underway for her acoustic trials at Exuma Sound (10-20 July). When she had finished artistically expressing herself and re-donned her coat, she received a kiss on the cheek from Cmdr. Stevenson, money from the crew, and an autographed picture of Finback. “I never saw such a smiling bunch of men go out to sea,” she later recounted, “I really think it boosted the men’s morale.”

Recalling Finback to port, Vice Adm. Williams immediately relieved Stevenson of his command and called him to an admiral’s mast. He recounted that, “[Stevenson] said I was over-reacting to something that was very innocent.” The admiral rather colorfully pointed out, however, that “The pictures weren’t innocent. He had this almost naked gal climbing up the ladder to the sail. …She was out there clogging on his sail planes in wooden shoes while alongside her they had a lookout who was wearing a life line and life jacket for his own safety…. Think about her falling off, being chewed up by the screws.” He concluded that, “It was just gross. No judgment and no moral values.” To that end, he fined Stevenson $2,000, issued a negative fitness report, and a letter reprimanding him for demeaning his position and not following Navy Regulations governing the presence of women on board a submarine."

The number of steps to reach the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower. That's as far as the general public is able to reach. The elevator is the necessary access above that point. If you COULD walk the rest of the way it would be a total of 1665 steps.
