And this evening's 'deliberate' mistake? - "That was over an hour ago and they haven't replied."
Didn't they tell us initially (and it would make complete sense) that: "On operational service we can receive messages but not send them"?
Then the captain was seen bollocking the hydrophone operator just after I had been thinking: "Surely they should have checked for ships in the area before deploying their communications cable?" It being obvious from the incident that they were going to be "recalled".
I'm getting the hang of this now!
The transmission of the sending of the message is what would potentially give away their position. So basically they don't unless in an emergency situation or when ordered. There isn't anything to stop them transmitting at any time really, well apart from a stuck cable in a shipping lane apparently. It also looks to have stopped them from reaching "periscope depth" and just using the radio.
I keep trying to take my brain out just to enjoy it and then she fails to save the world from nuclear war. Even Jason Bourne would have taken down a couple of crew members and a curtain.
