It's stuff like this that gets ya. You think you're doing everything right that can be done, and then realize that you ordered a dive and never levelled off from it, or went to flank speed or all-stop or shifted into reverse for some reason and forgot to order anything else when the appropriate time came.
My personal favorite is when I order hard to port or hard to starboard as an evasive maneuver and then forget to set a heading or at least order rudder amidships again. Then I take a look at the map and... uh... say, herr kaleun, would you like some coffee with your donuts?
