Sub Commander set to shore

Yeah, it sounds like the tethers acted against them once they were in the water. I was trying to come up with a reason for them to be doing anything on deck, so the port "lifelines" sound likely. Don't know about subs, but longshoremen have a go at it for surface boats in Norfolk during winter.

I was on the deck division, but was never told when, or if, there was 'magic point' that we would get to regarding fathoms in which the deck div would go below. As soon as I would pop my head out of the hatch, I'd hook the 'c' clamp into the railing.

I can still remember my COB yelling in my ear that 'You'd better not loose that wrench Renken!' as I was tightening the bolts of various covers and chock's.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
