It is often done to extremes at times when the sub has had extensive work done on it and they want to test it out. The worst possible example of what you are asking is called an "emergency blow". Imagine holding a plastic bottle of air under the water and letting it go. It shoots above the surface. This can be extremely dangerous. For one reason, you don't know if there are any boats above you that you may hit. If there is anyone on board most affected by the changing attitude of the sub, it is the galley (kitchen). Imagine trying to cook in these conditions! The metal in the hull of the sub is very strong but very flexible. As the sub dives deep, the walls of sub close in from the pressure. Because of this, the deck is a few inches from the hull (wall) and actually attached to the hull on swivels that let it move as the hull shrinks. At some points the sailors will tie a cord from one side to the other and as the sub rises again, the walls move out with the relieving pressure and at some point the string finally snaps. Worse yet, are the problems of underwater mountains. There have been subs that have hit underwater mountains at full speed, even resulting in death. This happened to the San Francisco. One dead, 20 injured at 500 feet under the water.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.ssbn611.org/images/USS%20San%20Francisco/050127-N-4658L-030.jpg Yes, and sometimes it’s called doing "angles and dangles".

Stand in front of a mirror and (out loud) give your speech. The first couple of times focus on getting the main ideas in the right order without looking at the paper. Then give the speech several more times, but focus on your facial expressions, gestures, eye contact across an imaginary audience, varied intonation, and pacing - speak much more slowly than you think you need to speak. Time your delivery several times and then adjust your content to fit into the allocated time. You should have your speech under control within 30-60 minutes.<br><b>References : </b><br>Former debate coach. Write the main ideas for your speech (in large writing) on separate sheets of paper.

But this is not the usual procedure. The torpedo tubes are kept secure so you won't fall into them. You may slip and bang against one. Yes it is like a roller coaster ride. One of the tricks we used to do is get as close to the bow as possible and when the ship broached, jump up. The result was you would jump up about two feet, but fall 3-4.<br><b>References : </b><br> As a submariner the answer is yes, a sub can take an extreme angle to surface, or dive, to the point where you have to hang on to something.

The lyrics are ..
Here I am
This is me
There’s nowhere else on earth I’d rather be
Here I am
It’s just me and you
Tonight we make our dreams come true

It’s a new world
It’s a new start
It’s alive with the beating of young hearts
It’s a new day
It’s a new plan
I’ve been waiting for you
Here I am

Here we are
We’ve just begun
And after all this time
Our time has come
Yeah here we are
Still goin’ strong
Right here in the place where we belong

Oh it’s a new world
It’s a new start
It’s alive with the beating of young hearts
It’s a new day
And a new plan
I’ve been waiting for you
Here I am

Here I am
Yeah

Here I am
This is me
There’s nowhere else on earth I’d rather be
Here I am
It’s just me and you
Tonight we make our dreams come true

Oh it’s a new world
It’s a new start
It’s alive with the beating of young hearts
It’s a new day
It’s a new plan
I’ve been waiting for you

Oh it’s a new world
It’s a new start
It’s alive with the beating of young hearts
It’s a new day
It’s a new plan
I’ve been waiting for you
(Waiting, waiting waiting)
Here I am

Here I am
Right next to you
Suddenly the world is all brand new
Here I am
Here I am
Where I’m gonna stay
Now there’s nothin’ standing in our way
Here I am
This is me

Hope that Helps (:
