Okay, how does the Chief Engineer increase the boat's crush depth? When the boats goes really deep, does he stretch out his arms and hold his hands against the bulkhead to prevent them from caving in?

Does the torpedo officer boost the explosive power of the torpedoes by whispering sweet nothings in their ears?

Anybody notice the biographies of the chief engineer, IWO, IIWO, are all awfully similar to the same characters in Das Boot?

How does the soundman detect contacts "intuitively" if he can't hear anything? Would you seriously want a sobbing nervous wreck in such a crucial position?

Why does the bosun have a strong loyalty to the army?

Why does the chief have a weak spot for sweats? He's on a U-boat, for christ sake. All he does is sweat 99% of the time.

The cook wants payback! Give the tommies hell!

"Great circle navigation" is apparently an elite skill, and not just something the navigator learned in sub school.

Man, this is shaping up to be the funniest submarine game ever.
