some comments re the above posting(s) amused

"Light bulbs have 500 watts of current surging through them."
Current is measured in amps not watts or was that your point?

"Diesel engines can be turned on 20 meters under water."
I forgot who it was that ran the diesels to surface his boat because his E-motors were inoperative. Pretty much sucked all the air out of the boat, but the crew survived.

Kapitänleutnant Gerd Schreiber commander of U-95 could not tell the diference between a German and Dutch submarine. He was sunk by the Dutch submarine O-21 after sending it a Morse signal.


Love your scenarios though
