• Come to PD
  • 360 degree periscope scan
  • check ESM for contacts
  • check for new comms traffic
  • (optional) charge HP air/radar sweep if it won't hurt you, etc.
• Review mission tasking orders (updated?) and any intelligence
• Mark on the Nav map any patrol areas, coordinates, etc. from your tasking/intelligence messages.
• Develop a plan to carry out the mission

This looks like a great checklist. I like it.
