focus energy and intellect back onto the basics of submarine operations.

Reminds me of a story about Vince Lombardi when he was coaching at Notre Dame.

"Gentlemen, this is a submarine."

It was the Green Bay Packers. Practice was going bad and Coach Lombardi was fuming. The atmosphere was very tense as he started lambasting the team. When he said "this is a football," Paul Hornung responded, "slow down, Coach, your going too fast." Everybody laughed, including the coach and that broke the tension.

At least that's how I heard the story.

What does a story about a band leader coaching piano players how to dive on a date have to do with anything? ;)

Dont believe Lombardi coached at Notre Dame. He coached at Fordham,West Point, and Green Bay.
