Great story and I love that you are not only using manual TDC, but actual doctrine as well (trim dives, etc).

One of the things I do while traveling to my patrol area is set up the stopwatch and then order a number of different dives (Crash dive, standard dive at various speeds, to various depths, in various weather conditions) while timing them to get a feel for how my boat reacts. Comes in very handy from time to time.

S boats can really get under fast! 15 seconds is my record so far.
