And in the midst of all this you have to stay focused on your job, do it as best you can and trust your shipmates to do theirs. Anything less could mean the difference between life and death. Kind of puts 'pressure' into a whole new category.

All in all, I think I'll stick with my armchair sub. Seems a lot safer, at least until my chair catches on fire!
