How not to fly a nuclear submarine

Front page of the Wall Street Journal: An officer who broaches the boat must wear a pair of pilot wings on his uniform, a reminder that subs aren't meant to fly.

Von Clausewitz's comment: "Every thing in war is simple; but some times the simple thing is difficult" comes to mind.
