4 nooks. 3 blasts only for emergency surfaces. The modern boats don't have the
corresponding lights the Tullibee had. Green for diving alarm and red for collision. They were in noisy spaces. hagar |

Yup, as a young 9901 on the Queenfish, SS-393, many, many eons ago, I definitely remember hearing, "Now surface, surface, surface." But, that might have been only on the Queenfish . . . or not?

Maybe I've seen too many John Wayne movies, but I've got this image of a WWII submerged approach on the enemy convoy. John decides to surface in the midst of the convoy and decimate them with his deck guns. He whispers to the COW, Surface the Boat. The COW passes the word and sounds the Klaxon three times. The camera shifts to the enemy Sonar Types tearing off their earphones in pain. |

On the Bugara SS-331 ('62-'63) and the Sam Houston SSBN-609 ('65-'69) three blasts on the diving alarm (klaxon) was for Emergency Surface only.

52 Years ago on the Allen and I can't remember!!!!!!!!!!! I remember two blasts when diving (we still had the aooga horns, one of which the SSBN 608 Association received from De-Com Chief of the Boat Don Sweet and is still sounded at reunions). Once I was qualified I was in my bunk whenever I could.

Assuming everyone's recollection is correct, can anyone think why it would have been one way on a Diesel Boat and a different way on a Nuke?
IIRC, in approximately 1969-70 SUBLANT and SUBPAC standardized the SSORM. However, that must have been standardized by Class of boat and I do not know for sure if it covered Diesel Boats as that was after my time. As hard as I've tried over the past few years, I have never been able to find the SSORM Surfacing Bill on line. I believe the SSORM is/was comsublant/comsubpacinst 5400.39 Thanks for the replys.

After a lot of thought, I'll amend my reply to "Surface, Surface, Surface" on the 1MC. Diving alarm 3 times only for emergency surface.  Edited by GaryKC - 29 Jan 2016 at 2:49pm |
