Submarine Orders

[Kapitan_Phillips]

Hey folks, does anyone know any good websites that have typical orders given on a submarine? Regulation type stuff, like "XO, send the word, Dive Dive Dive". Any help would be appreciated :)

I was looking for something like this too.

Some authentic reports and transmissions would be cool too. Sit reps to BdU and the like.

[nightdagger]

That sounds interesting. I'd like to know, too.

I think that Bill would be the perfect person to ask about this.

My Granddad told me his sub skipper never used "DIVE DIVE DIVE".
He used other 4 letter words to communicate what he wanted.

PAWPAW was on a sub in Pearl Harbor DEC. 7th 1941.
It is a grizzly tale of heroism and death.

I would like to know also.

Probaly because "Stear 355" was once misunderstood... :lol:

[Gorduz]

I've heard so as well, only "Dive Dive" is used.

[Linton]

I always thought the order was submerge the ship.

[Sailor Steve]

Clark Gable said "Dive! Dive!"


That's good enough for me.
