Real Submarine Technology & History Q&A

I'm a navy vet--kiddy cruised from 1965 to '68. Black Shoe, but not a pig boater. I am interested in the bad new event called a hot run.

I worked--post Nav--with a guy who was in the diesel boats about the time I was in. He told a scary story about a hot run in the forward room.

The torpedo lit off and filled the room with nasty exhaust. Per sched they dogged the door and left the guys there to deal with there maker. Sad story about somebody banging to get out and then dropping quiet. Eternal Father Strong to Save...

Skipper surfaced mo skosh and the opened the torpedo room deck hatch and the dogged door mentioned above. My pal said the gasses blew aft and knocked him out. I think all the squids survived. He thought he was effected much later by CO. I mean carbon monoxide instead the captain. This was told to me in the 1980s? He was kind of ditsy.

Now the question. I read of hot run in the wwii stories, and no mention is made of a gas problem. Who is ****ting us, my old pal, or the people who write the stuff?
