Also, a real submarine story, as told to yours truly from a co-worker that served on the Archerfish (SSN-678). They spent a great deal of time in the North Atlantic and at one point found themselves somewhere in the Barents Sea area, not too far from the coast of Russia.
One night, my friend was in his ‘rack’, presumably asleep when the Archerfish did an abrupt steep dive (or did they surface, I do not remember that detail) and someone got on the intercom and shouted “Torpedo in the water!!!”
Apparently, the Russians noted their presence and took the liberty of launching a torpedo (probably not armed, just something to get a reaction. Part of the ongoing war games that the 2 nations have played for decades).
Anyway, after my friend explained the cramped quarters in the bunk, and how difficult it was to get out of there when you were pitched at some crazy angle (30 degrees, maybe), I gained a new appreciation for our submariners.
I worked with a couple of other sub guys, and on my last team at work, we had a guy that had worked on a carrier (he used to ask other Navy guys, were you on a sub or a target?). Navy nukes seem to flock to the electric power industry.
Some Superb Substack Selections

Viral Video Doctor: When Standing Six Feet from Truth Goes Viral

True that: Half the crew on a Navy Nuke has learned to speak in kilowatts. Having qualified they can get an outside job pretty much anyplace. The rest of the crew can get the other jobs any other place. Qualifying on a Nuke is about a year and a half of some heckuva intense schooling.
For which the rest of the Navy and the electric power industry are grateful.
