This reminds me a real sub surfacing I saw.
We were approaching Gibraltar after 6 months in the Persian Gulf. We must have been a couple of miles off when by chance I looked out the bridge window. Literally a 100 feet away on our starboard beam, shooting out of the sea, bows flying through the air in a great wash of foam, came a US sub. It happened so fast that and was so unexpected that I just gaped at it. I think it was one of the American attack subs and if memory recalls it had a tiger stripe camouflage on its conning toweR. Although this maybe my memory playing tricks on me.
EIther way it was damned impressive and something I've never forgotten.
