    Re: Lost at Sea

    In O'Kanes "Clear the Bridge", he describes his USS Tang being being caught on surface during a typhoon in the Pacific in WWII. Subs were unstable while diving (in danger of capsizing if they rolled too much). If the storm came on too quickly, or they were temporarily unable to dive they could be caught on the surface. It was a near thing in his case.

    Connector: He describes morning and evening star rounds and am and pm sun lines.


    ****************************
    I always figured the best vessel to be in during a storm was a submarine. If it can survive being down hundreds of feet it could certainly survive whatever the surface could throw at it. Has any submarine ever been sunk by a storm?
