Don't know if this was posted before, but it should be required reading for any Sub Captain operating in the Pacific.

Enjoy...

I found this comment interesting;
But we couldn't reload below 150' as the fwd room shrank and the skids wouldn't line up with the tubes. I tried unsuccessfully to get permission to plane up above 150' to reload.

Interesting to see that the depth pressure had such an effect on the reloading procedure. I wonder if that was peculiar to just that sub or if variations of the same effect occurred in all subs. It would make for an interesting (and I guess an easy,) mod. Y/N??
:hmmm:

Should do more research into that... :hmmm::yep:
