At random: "I propose to you a new arm of war, as formidable as it is economical. Submarine navigation, which has been sometimes attempted, but as all know without results, owing to want of suitable opportunities, is now a problematical thing no more." - Brutus de Villeroi in a letter to President Lincoln, 1862

Subject: My First Dive

My very first dive on the Pickerel I was lookout. When we cleared the bridge for dive the officer was to hang on the lanyard while I cranked the hatch shut. When he hung on the lanyard it wrapped around the closing mechanism. I was not able to dog the hatch, and me being so green I thought it might be our last dive. It didn't help my panic when I started to hear water washing over the hatch. This happened my first day at sea.

As they used to say. "A near miss is a good learning experience, as long as you come out alive."
