What would you have done, left the hatch unsecured?

Good point ... My questions above apply to that incident (and probably to a great many others) as well.

I'm an Army guy so I don't understand Navy mentality sometimes. Can someone explain to me what the officer did wrong? Sounds to me like the crew were following safety procedures with having their safety lines. I don't get it.

The crew was putting off the pilot. They were still involved in that when the sub cleared the breakwater and exposed the topside crew to the full force of the sea conditions that included 50 MPH winds and 20 foot swells.
The CO and the XO should have ensured that the pilot transfer was completed in a timely manner before the sub cleared the breakwater.
