Believe it or not, that is one way of changing the trim on a submarine.

Transferring people back and forth works.

My father was an officer on submarines...1958 graduate of US Naval Academy...BTW there is no "real" running room on a submarine...in all reality.

The cool stories was when people got sick and had REAL bad gas...now THAT could send people running.

They used to do that to a rookie just to test em out on their trim skills. "Trim party" (Yeaaaaa Starboard! Yeahhhhhh.... AFT!!!! lol) I think they called it. You are totally right, it does work... Sometimes a bit too well... That Cap'n is toast. Too many Chinese in that area to be doin a clusterF$@k.

Maybe on 688's. Many have tried, yet none succeeded in holding a trim party on a Trident.
