The Silent Service was an elite organization. Sailors who qualified were expected to be capable of remembering what to do when the dive alarm sounds.

As a submarine commander, just like my historical counterpart, I have more important matters to occupy my attention than shepherding the bridge watch to their diving stations. This is especially true when the boat is executing a crashdive to evade an enemy aircraft on an attack run.

YMMV.
