3) In daytime hours, when a ship is spotted, you don’t go to periscope depth immediately. This should be your first instinct.

2) Checking your TDC set up before you fire a torpedo. How many times have you launch the torpedo and it went the wrong direction?

1) Periscope discipline. This is the most important mistake most guys make, I even made a video on it because of it.

This is fun, let me add some famous last words.

-The destroyer will not detect me if I am underwater with my engines turned off and on silent running.

-I am being D/Ced by a destroyer. I should never go faster than silent running to evade.

-I´m sure this merchant is unarmed!

-I will totally win a deck gun duel with this merchant!

-I can´t see any bombs on this plane...

-Crashdive! Oh crap, we are in shallow waters...

-The destroyer just over the horizon has no clue that I am here (1941, hello radar)
