:rotfl: . I'd like to join your firing squad! :rotfl: .
As far as the rest of your post, I completely agree. Once committed to going deep, it was no easy thing coming back up without noise and compressed air. To do it with escorts in the area....well....no one who wanted to live did it unless the circumstances were dire. The realism side of me refuses to come back up until I'm sure I've cleared the area of danger. I've read accounts of boats that did that kind of thing but as I recall--many of them are still on patrol now. Most submariners look on skippers who did that kind of stuff as "Nuts". I guess that's why the story of Mush Morton going into Wewak gets retold all the time--because he was crazy. It's the crazy ones who get remembered the best.
Thank You for your welcome!
Cheers!
