Quite true. The commanding officer of the one SSN I was on was a real flamer, treated everyone on the crew like crap. But when it came to handling that attack sub in a practice combat exercise, he was a natural - he could visualize in his head what was going on, and every time beat the pants off the opposing ships. If we'd ever had to go into actual combat, he would have been the one I'd wanted commanding that sub.
