AAAAMEN. I deal a lot with environmental NGO at my present job and, less I can say about is that they, sometimes, are "tedious".

Heres a famous picture but this is a large version. It started out as a 4700x3900 size in my computer, but Caswells site automatically reduced it to this. OH Well!

Now THAT'S impressive!!
YEEEhah!!

Believe this is a form of sound proofing; an anchoic chamber. I've done work for Bose and they use these rooms for component and speaker testing.

Nice, but photoshopped

in the real world, you wouldnt see anything. It would be zerodarkhundred and no moon, all you would see is total black

This is respose to the surfacing pictures on the prior pages.

At least once per calendar quarter we had to do and emergency surface procedure. It was initiated with a report of flooding below a certain depth and on the order of the Officer Of The Deck (OOD) "Emergency Surface" The duties were as follows when the order was issued:
Chief of the Watch (COW) Initiate Emergency Blow at the Ballast Control Panel (BCP) 15 Seconds for the drill
Diving Officer of the watch (DOW) Order Full Rise on the Fairwater Planes
Rudder Amidships
Maintain 15-20 Degree UP Angle
Officer of the Deck (OOD) Order ALL Ahead Full Yes All in our squadron even though we had only 1 screw! Why not Flank? This was to avoid switching Main Coolant Pumps to Fast Speed. We never had problems but they didnt want switching in an emergency.

The scopes couldn't be raised as they would bend back. Prior to the drill we went to periscope depth and did visual searches and sonar searches to make sure no one would get hit unlike the situation with the Japanese Trawler

Once the ship broke the surface it fell back to about 200 feet and the order given "Prepare to Surface" followed immediately by "Surface Surface Surface"
In a real flooding situation, the engine room would isolate seawater systems in the ER or AFT Macheniry Room 2 by throwing the levers in the overhead (4). We called them the "chicken switches" This was done by the Engineering officer of the watch (EOOW). If the source of flooding was known then that system was isolated. If unknown then all but 1 main seawater system(MSW) was shut, if that didn't stop it, then the other side MSW was shut and all three other systems were opened. This was to keep 1 condenser running to maintain electric power and propulsion.
Since one of my collateral duties was Ships Diving Officer I always had to be in Control for the Drill. Many times I was the OOD. It was awesome. The tens and units dials on the digital depth gage spun so fast they couldn't be read. As soon as the ship came up the second time the OOD raised the scope for a visual in high and low power. The amazing thing was to then look at the big wave and wake aft of the ship. AWESOME!
If anyone would like to know about the Quarterly Control Rise Test let me know.
