In GRAMPUS (SS523) in the mid 50's and GUDGEON (SS567) in the late 60's, the three blasts of the Klaxon was ONLY for EMERGENCY SURFACE.

All my boats had klaxons installed also. The Tullibee could surface on the diesel also, but that Jimmy HATED it.

Surfacing without air was fairly common on 580's, since the low pressure blow was engine exhaust. If a Fairbanks can blow the mast it can easily blow tanks at a shallower depth.

5 nooks, my recollection is the same as Hagar- 3 blasts of the diving alarm only for emergency surface. Only my 1st boat (630) had klaxons as equipped by Newport News SYD, although as those old boats were decommed, klaxons were obtained and mounted near the BCP on my next 2 subsequent boats (676 and 671), so the Chief of the Watch could hold the 1MC mike up to it and sound a real klaxon for diving, as opposed to the awful synthesized sound the installed diving alarm made.
