Default Diving Officer: Sir..........

What should a diving officer shout when you become close to the bottom?
I am planning to make a wav file.

Well, actually it should be the navigator or his aide (the quartermaster), not the diving officer. I believe the correct phrase is, "Red Sounding!"

(The navigator is supposed to set two alerts for the fathometer, "Yellow Sounding", which means you are getting into water shallower than expected, and "Red Sounding" which tells you you are about to get into real trouble.)

So, the report should be something as: Navigator, Conn: Red sounding!
And the wav file as: Conn, Navigator: Red sounding!

A short glossary of sub-speak that defines 'Red Sounding':

http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/icerun/glossary/


A real-life submarine grounding incident:

http://starbulletin.com/2001/08/29/news/story3.html


I also found this, using a Google search:

Here's a story that happened before I got to the boat, but was related to me by some of my shipmates on the USS Pintado (SSN-672).

The boat was pulling to Pearl for the very first time after overhaul as part of it's change of home-port. As the ship was getting ready to make the turn past Ford Island and head into the piers, the following 1MC's were heard:

Fathometer watch: "Red Sounding!"
1MC: "Red Sounding!"
> OOD on 7MC to control: "All back Full!"
> 1MC: "Corpsman lay to control"

The Navigator had been so stressed out over the initial entry into Pearl that when the Red Sounding got called, he just passed out over the chart table.

Only minor is the lag of emotion.
