I mean to imply that it would be pretty silly if you had your man say "Torpedo running hot, straight, and normal" when you buggered up the calculations and it went all haywire. I've sent torps off in the wrong direction before. Once even to the wrong side of the AoB.  More like hot crooked and normal.
But of course I saw tha movie. I practically live off of the History channel.
In retrospect probably not the best joke...:hmm: |
Lol, that's what Dan said when I told him the "Torpedo in the water" is for enemy torpedoes. He knew that, of course, but currently there's no fix, there is no "Circular run!" tag. So when the new sonar guy calls out "Torpedo running hot, straight, and normal" it will be wrong only when a circular run is occuring. But then again, I never claimed to be a reall diligent sonar man. I get in a rut, you know, calling out "Torpedo running hot, straight, and normal" over and over....I tend to just parrot it out. I said I like the phrase
I'll send you what you need tonight, thanks. You guys rock
