Cribbage has a big Navy history. Anyone else hear the story about the submarines and the lucky board?

the submarines and the lucky board

Its the board from Admiral Dick OKane. It gets passed between active submarines as a tradition.

Cribbage shows up a lot in maritime culture. Scrimshaw boards are part of that history too.

Ive played on a ship with a tiny folding board. Perfect for a small table.
