Silent Service

Emergency Messages


Standard submarine phraseology continues from the book that was classified "RESTRICTED" that was used to train American submariners back in the days of World War II; thanks to GENE ZIEGLER (2143-1992) for this book.

EMERGENCY MESSAGES

In case of emergency, the station making the announcement calls: "SILENCE ON THE LINE."

All other stations cease talking immediately until the word "CARRY ON" is received. If any message was interrupted by the emergency announcement, it is then repeated in full."
