How do you properly board a US Submarine?
Just like you do any Navy vessel: 1. Walk down the brow (without tripping or falling overboard into the water). 2. Turn toward the U.S. Flag at the stern of the boat, render a hand salute. 3. Turn toward the Topside Watch (who is typically right at the end of the brow), render a salute, and request permission to come aboard. 3. You present your ID card, and the watch will check your clearance status in the topside watch records. If an escort is needed, he'll call down below for one. In cases of Flag Officers, the procedure is essentially the same, except the watch will ring the topside bell 4 times (2 bells, pause, 2 bells) and then announce the Officer's arrival. For example, if the Squadron Commander for Submarine Squadron 4 was coming aboard, the watch would announce over the 1mc (general announcing circuit) 4 bells, then "Subron 4 arriving".
