Honestly. We had one sub lieutenant who had ‘somehow’ passed his Part 3 and got his kissing fish nearly do the opposite when acting as OOW.
Luckily my mate pulled him up in the control room at the bottom of the tower to ‘politely’ advise him that the upper lid on the tower was still open, thr lower lid was nowhere near being shipped and pinned, AND, the donks were still running with the screamers (superchargers) at full noise.
This was literally seconds before he was about to order the planesman on the OMC to sound the klaxon 3 times.
The only proper response would be...
That's about as funny as a screen door on a submarine.

They must have started this course as a result of the USS Guitarro (SSN-665).
