THREAD HIJACK!!!!
Just thought I would tack this on here as I couldn't be bothered starting a new thread.
The stuff I did in the US Sub Force:
[video=youtube;uljVI4m5e3c]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uljVI4m5e3c[/video]
Unfortunately there aren't many opportunitys to film us doing our thing, mostly because of classification, but anyhoo, we do the strategic deterrence thing on the SSBN's.
Interesting facts, to launch a ballistic missile, we have a rocket motor at the bottom of the tube that flashes approx 50 gallons of pure water into steam instantaneously. This provides more than enough thrust (exact no. is classified folks) to throw the missile from the 150ft launch depth to the surface and into the air, before the missile's internal accelerometers detect negative acceleration and fires its own rocket motor. The missile is actually in the tube filled with nitrogen (it is inert, safest thing for it) and doesn't ever get wet. It travels to the surface in this nitrogen bubble.
Other random facts, the Trident I (C4) missile weighs less than the water that floods into the tube after it shoots, so we have missile compensation tanks that are filled with water and pump out the difference in weight to maintain neutral buoyancy. The Trident II (D5) missile weighs more than the water, so we have to pump on to maintain neutral buoyancy.
And here is someones video of 'angles and dangles'

29 degrees is cool, we have done 35. You can do some real matrix like moves at 35 degrees.....
Emergency blow. Normally these aren't quite this exciting (I have only done them for maintenance reqs, never because we needed to). This sub was at flank speed using planes to get the angle, before blowing from around 300ft.
