Don't let them get to ya, emo. Its okay.
were you a part of operation desert storm (not real actual desert part)?
When this happens, does anyone lose any fillings in their teeth?
What's it like to find out who played in and/or won the Superbowl like days or weeks after it happened?
Several patrols, my boat was smoke-free. The captain had recently got married to a new trophy wife. He announced over the 1mc on the way down the channel that she wanted him to quite smoking...so, therefore, the boat was quitting smoking. I thought we might have a real mutiny.Late in patrol we surfaced and did a swim call. The die-hard smokers jumped into the ocean with their cigs in a zip lock bag. Then, they tried to tread water and light up since ithey weren't "on" the boat anymore.But, other questions. The XO's job is to be a dick. The CO gets to be the good guy.All ahead flank, cavitate.Helm, all stop. Maneuvering, Conn, stop the shaft.Stop the shaft, maneuvering, aye.
if you launch a torpedo at an enemy boat and a dolphin or orca or something swims in the way will it just blow the eff out of it or will it bounce off and not detonate?

You have to report it to the Con because it can be heard by Sonar.What if you are in the gym pumping iron and you have to turn off "Welcome to the Jungle"?

Metal detection thing.wouldn't it just blast right through flesh and continue to it's target?A torpedo isn't going to travel at a high enough rate to "blast right through" anything. There are multiple ways to detonate them, though. (No, I can't tell you what they are)
