I’m thinking about stealing a submarine - who’s with me?
Need the following:
14 Marine Engineers
4 Weapon Engineers
8 Sonar operators
8 Tactical systems people
2 Chefs
2 Communicators
1 Navigator
1 XO (Non Perisher - I can teach you)
Must have no scruples

A common training challenge is to have 4 sailors looking at a document and then dive the submarine rapidly - this tests their ability to get back down below before water comes over the casing (deck). In this case all 4 made it back.

When enemy killer dolphins get too close the RN is trained to engage - they wear ear defenders because the noise of the dolphins clicking is so loud it can impact balance

At the time (early 2000's) this was the oldest submarine in NATO - Portuguese - I was onboard as a Command RIder. It was so well looked after and kicked ass against ships - my lesson was it's the crew, not the platform. that would serve me well in command.

This shot was taken during a 5g negative dive onboard a Walrus class SSK, with the periscope stuck in the raised position. The British officer desperately tried to pull the periscope down, so that the submarine could invert. No one talked about it for 5 years...

This was responsible for a COLREG that nobody has ever experienced ever and yet could result in failure at a Royal Navy Rule of the Road test.
This is Ekranoplan - A USSR made giant flying ship designed to attack NATO nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, first entered service in 1987.

This is quite an achievement - get the platform ready, re-focus a crew that wasn't expecting it - bring operational awareness up to speed. BZ

This is my Remembrance Day tweet - to all those who lost their lives defending our great nation - thank you. Those of us who've lost shipmates - we'll always struggle with it. If you struggle with what we've seen and done (we all do) - please make sure we look after each other.

Politicians - learn from the submarine service - you don’t lead unless your capable - life is at risk - make sure they want to serve rather than take - our country would be a better place with a real selection and training process
