On one of the submarines on which I served we used to stand amidships for General Quarters and shout, “Everyone aft, go forward! Everyone forward, go aft! Everyone amidships, direct traffic! ;-)

Actually laughed out loud. Thank you for your Silent Service. Don't know how you guys do it, but I depend on you guys to sleep well. I'd rather be on the flight deck for round the clock flight ops in oppressive heat than be sequester in a tube.

BTW, how are the female Submariners working out? Thought it to be a bad decision. Still, with special training hope they are pulling their weight, unless getting intentionally pregnant which many do on surface vessels.
