Hi RK, Fellow Green Suit Warrior...

I must confess I have been unable to find any material that explains the SOP or sets out the SOP for a uboat going to sea. My theory is based on personal experience as a "passenger" on a troop carrying submarine many, many years ago and my correspondence with a group of German and American submariners.

All seem to be in agreement that its a 50/50 split between the Chief of the boat or the XO. No matter the case, he was a *very* lucky guy.
