No one was to know the plans. The crew was preparing for the first submersion. Everyone was busy checking all the mechanics, preparation was key to the success of this mission. The&nbsp;<strong>captain<\/strong>&nbsp;had sent a crewman down to check on the&nbsp;<strong>missile<\/strong>that was onboard.

He was looking through the periscope in between orders. The map was marked on the area they were headed, the deepest part of the sea. There was no indication to the danger they were facing while they went deeper and deeper. Dive! The time was to go completely&nbsp;<strong>underwater<\/strong>. The&nbsp;<strong>force<\/strong>&nbsp;of the water was felt through the entire machine as went down.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The time for&nbsp;<strong>escape<\/strong>&nbsp;from his hiding place was coming quickly. He had set a timer and it was going to be on time. Perfect for his escape and victory over his enemy. It was time to write a passage for the history books.
