I accept orders From the CO and XO all others may discuss matters with the COB.
Sometimes You got to tell the CO the situation, and he is like OK Mister, you have 1 hour.. And you say Yes Sir!
No disrespect, submarines are “unique”
Captain Whitey Mack would hunt Russkies In a night robe, slippers, and his hat, smoking a pipe LOL
When I get home I’ll send you a link to a USN Naval Postgraduate School paper that talks a little of what we did.
Talk to the CO all you want, they’re the most sleep deprived person onboard.
