I worked with a guy that was on a boomer in the 70s, and he said their biggest worry was having one of the gas generators (for ejecting the missile) burn a hole in the boat.

Well, that and a coke bottle that was in the hull, and would make noise in hard turns and heavy seas, giving away their position.
