When you are a senior officer aboard a nuclear submarine... be ready to constantly sweat..... profusely

When you see a dog peeing on a nuclear submarine, don't say anything. Just watch.

When someone punches you in the face and asks for a key, don't give it to them.

If you can't fix a radio, Star Trek roleplaying will fix it for you.

If your wife leaves you, buy a submarine dog.

If someone commits mutiny on your submarine, get proven wrong. Then retire.

When you break someone's nose, they will automatically tell you it's broken.

31. Its darn right irresponsible to launch nuclear missiles based on a mere message fragment....&

32. Should we go to war again, we SHOULD NOT ask Cptn Ramsey's advice on whether to drop the A-bomb on Japan, or any other nation for that matter

reply

"Its darn right irresponsible to launch nuclear missiles based on a mere message fragment"

The order to launch missiles was based on a confirmed message. The order NOT to launch missiles is the one based on a message fragment until the end of the movie.

33) Don't tell people that two sailors are *beep* each other in the ass- one is *beep* the other in the ass, stupid.

34) Talking about Mobeous on a submarine will start a fight.

35) If you're a supervisor, you can get a commission like *that* (snaps fingers).

36) You don't put on a condom unless you're gonna *beep*

37) Don't leave the TV on during your kid's birthday party unless you want some bad news.

38) Don't answer the phone during your kid's birthday party unless you want some bad news.

39) National Military Command Center knows what sector you're in-- they have satellites looking down on you to see if your birds are aloft and if they're not, then they give your orders to someone else-- it's why they maintain more than one sub, it's what they call redundancy.

When moving directly away from an enemy sub, opening forward torpedo tubes and firing forward is the best way to shoot a sub behind you.

When setting sail into a potential war situation requiring possible nuclear strikes, it is satisfactory to only take one working radio.

Despite it being completely dark at a depth of 1800 feet, there will be enough murky light to illuminate a sub in difficulty.

The third post powerful man in the world is a nuclear submarine XO.

Smoking in a submarine is OK, especially if it's been damaged and in danger of sinking.
