1. Crash dive

   A crash dive is a maneuver performed by a submarine to submerge as quickly as possible to avoid attack. Crash diving from the surface to avoid attack has been largely rendered obsolete with the advent of nuclear-powered submarines as they operate constantly submerged and are unlikely to be found on the surface. However, the crash dive is a standard maneuver used during surfacing when a collision is believed imminent. A crash dive in a diesel-powered submarine requires careful orchestration of the crew. On German U-boats of World War II, a crash dive would begin with the Captain or senior lookouts giving the order "Alarm!", which led to a bridge officer activating the alarm bell. All crewmembers would then immediately stop what they were doing and proceed to their diving stations. Once the lookouts were below deck and the upper deck hatch was secured, the Captain or Chief Engineer would shout the order "Fluten". With the bow planes at a maximum down angle, the crew would then flood the forward ballast tanks of the submarine and, often, have all available crewmembers move as far forward in the boat as practical. This extra weight forward gives the boat a bow-down angle so its momentum helps pull it below the surface. A few seconds later the rear ballast tanks are flooded in order to prevent the bow-down angle from becoming extreme enough that the boat's stern rises out of the water. The entire operation would generally be coordinated by the Chief Engineer.
