Surfacing (from Periscope Depth)
C – Orders “Prepare to surface” (Helmsman to tower rudder station, Commander makes ready to climb ladder followed by Navigator, Radioman to negative tank controls, Diving Officer at diving station) N – Reports “Bridge watch ready”. C – Orders “Both Great Ahead” and “Surface!” D – Sets fwd planes hard up, aft up 5 deg. When boat rises, reports “Boat rising” and orders “Flood negative”. Reports depth change: “14….13….12….” R – Floods negative tank, makes ready to blow ballast. C – Orders “Blow” and climbs ladder to hatch. N – Follows commander up ladder, notes current position on chart. R – Blows ballast, awaits order from commander to stop blowing, verifies negative flood valve shut. D – Reports “Hatch coming free” when at 7.5 meters. C – Climbs topside, orders “Switch to diesels”. (Just commander goes topside in case need to dive again quickly) H – In tower, switches to diesels and back to Great Ahead. D – Reports “boat is out” when fully surfaced. C – Orders “stop blowing” and quickly scans horizon to ensure all clear. R – Stops blowing ballast, stands by. (This ensures that if not all clear, boat can get back down in a hurry) C – If all clear, orders “Blow with diesel”. (This is a historical procedure not replicated in the game, but in WP it can serve as a signal to the radioman to finish blowing as well as a reminder to start the diesel if not yet started) N and H – Navigator remains in tower, Helmsman climbs topside, mans rudder on bridge. R – Finishes blowing ballast, reports “All have blown” when done. D – Asks Commander if bilge may be pumped. Starts compressor and, if ordered, bilge pump. C – “Secure from diving stations” (All are already in correct positions except Radioman who returns to post on bridge), orders course and speed as desired. D – Unless told by commander otherwise, sets telegraph to charge batteries. D – Monitors compressed air level and stops compressor when done.
