In Codename: Iceman, why would you activate the silent drive, stay below the thermocline later, keep your speed at 5 knots, if you still got picked up by the passive sonar on surface vessels?

I did everything a good skipper would. Why would this accurate simulation fail me?

You can come too, if you like!

Ok as long as I can come too then I forgive you.

*whew* I'm resisting the urge to post where my mind immediately went.

Edit: Never mind. Cathy did it for me.

No, because enemy subs would be able to detect the urine and/or poop hitting the water in the toilet on their sonar. It would be a dead giveaway.

I have a sub related question:

1: Of what is a submarine's hull made.

2: Given that all matter shatters and a given sonic frequency and given that sound moves so well underwater, what would be the feasibility of a sound-based weapon that can shatter sub hulls?

s65horsey: It depends. We go out for a few weeks at time for exercises and the like. On mission, we can stay deep for as long as we have food. I won't say how long that is.

3: Is there a cannible contingency in the case you run out of other consumables?

Have any whales humped your sub yet? It happened to a sub that a co-worker of mine was stationed on once and so he now tells everyone that he was involved in a whale gangbang, any chance you can lay claim to being a participant in such an event?

What kind of testing does the Navy do for recruits, to make sure they don't show signs of possible claustrophobic tendencies?

Have you ever been onboard a sub where someone freaked out, while the sub was submerged?

Can I ask a question?

I am interested in periscopes. Are they still in use (in modern 21st century submarines) or has some advanced technology made them obsolete?

Dude Souderwan! You've become a collector!

I have a question; what happens if you're too tall for your bunk?

Have you heard of any of submarines encountering or, have been attacked by giant squid?

Just last week, in fact. We just use our "electrify hull" emergency button and the squid goes bye-bye.

No. They're long, black, hard, and full of seamen.
