"All of my undersea time was in the deep, wide Pacific."
Remember the accident when this sub hit an underwater seamount in the deep-wide Pacific ocean!

Somehow we were able to avoid those undersea mountains... even 25 - 30 years earlier. (I got out of the Navy in ‘80.)

Flank speed... that must’ve left a mark on a few sailors. I read in the wiki that one died, even.
