'Angles and Dangles'

[Bellman]

:hmm: Ever stopped to consider whats going on here ? I guess it wasnt just a bit of macho 'showing-off' before lunch !

Is this a torp avoidance proceedure or a way of extending the scope and effectiveness of receptors ?

What do you guys think ?

No...it was a contest to see how far someone could slide down Sherwood Forest. :rotfl: :rotfl:

:rotfl: Tip the C in C off the head ?

angles and dangles i always thort it was to make the idle junior rates get of thier arse

[Bellman]

HE HE Sonar - Babies and bathwater ?

Look what happens in a wind tunnel when an extreme angle of attack causes 'flow detachment' and the migration
of turbulence. Could a similar phenomena open ''windows'' ? :hmm:

Hello,
as far as i we see here ... everyone knows what is meant by it
Which only reveals that no one really knows, but we have a habit of not admitting it by answering in that special way ... :|\

Greetings,

Angles and Dangles i believe is something that the crew would perform when there are students from the naval academy onboard in order to either a.)_captivate them by what the boat can do. or b.)Scare them off so they didnt waste the navys time.

Look for my post earlier in another topic with Sub Sailor answering for the answer to this question.

I must admit I did not know what this 'Angles and Dangles' was until I looked on the net. Found out in the end. Always good to find learn something new. It makes a lot of since to do this when you think about it and always interesting to find out new things about life on a sub. By the way, when did they start doing this?

[Bellman]

I guess I should have said ' Whats really going on here ?"

I am not going to push at the door - I'm happy to accept what we think we know :-

Formal definition:-

"Angles and Dangles" is a submariners' term for a critical exercise that usually takes place right after a
nuclear submarine leaves on a patrol. Once in deep water, the sub dives deep and then comes back up,
both at a steep angle. Anything that is not properly secured will fall down, making some noise. These are
known as dangles, and they must be corrected before a sub is fully rigged for silent running. Basically, you dive
deep, come up steep, and listen to the result.''

It is sub slang for operating at extreme angles, >25 degrees. An effective means for the CO and XO to determine if the ships spaces are truly "rigged for sea". (Pisses the cooks off in the galley :rotfl: )

Generally the CO and/or XO would not even have to do a tour around the boat afterward. Anything not stowed can be heard in the boat when it crashes into something, or Sonar can hear it.

Whoa be on him who doesn't get the mess cleaned up before the CO/XO gets there. Spaces "Rigged for Sea" is a sign off item for completing pre-underway check lists.
