Looking back at the time that I "died" as a result of a Jam Dive, I could easily see that being the case here. I've never been on a Skipjack class boat and the blueprint in the paper Subnuts linked was a good picture of the hull structure and layout. I knew about the maintence issues we had back then and all the other issues the sub force faced. So call me a switcher, but I'm resubscribing to a stern planes Jam Dive based on personal experience.
