Sonar tracked a B class as it passed directly over us. We were making turns for 1.5 knots, against the current to give us some steerageway, rigged for quiet. <ooc - had the volume turned all the way up with my headphones on, family all abed, etc.>

Hearing a faint "peewww, peeewww, peewww" as the DC launchers fired, I listened intently for the splash transients as they hit the water.

Nothing...

nothing...

"Huh, that's interesting."

Just then, my idiot weapons officer yells, "DEPTH CHARGES IN THE WATER!" directly into my ear!!

As I picked my skin up from the deck, seeing as I had just jumped straight out of it, I restricted the moron to his quarters for the remainer of the watch.
