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.

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. |

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?

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 |

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.
