My favorite 'Angle & Dangle' memory:
One day, the CO goes down to the mess decks and asks what is for lunch. He got the reply of Corned Beef (or, as we used to call it: 'Baboon Ass'). He told the chief that he specifically stated that he disliked it (I mean he REALLY disliked it) and wanted something different. We was politely told that it was too late to start another meal but they would make sure that it was not served in the future.
The CO shrugged and went back up to control. About 20 seconds later the angle starts to come on. Down we go.... 30 degrees.. and the pots are a banging, the cooks are a swearing, and us nukes were smiling (we hated it too). After a few seconds the angle came off and we leveled out. A few seconds later UP we went into a 30 degree up angle.
Again, the pots were banging, the cooks were REALLY swearing now, and then the boat levels off.
The CO comes down the ladder and asks again what is for lunch. The chief gave a prompt 'cold cut sandwiches and chips'.
I can still remember the carnage that was in the galley.
