I particularly enjoyed the notion that beneath the waves were blokes fighting for their professional lives while the pingers hooned around on manual jumps discussing events in the Club Too Far. Happy days.

Trying to remember the Casex No that was the live depth charge dropping alongside them at PD, to "show them what it was like"
My personal favourite just for the siren noises in the background during their post drop radio check in.

During your career as an officer on an ssn when do you get taught how to fight the thing especially as the USSR have taken all theirs home? Is it computer based training or just on exercise?I would imagine that as a new boy adjusting to life in a boat is hard enough without thinking about crazy ivans!
