Missed the u-boot engine.
I love that part in Das Boot where they're making the balls-out run through the Straits of Gib and the crazy engineer is checking the engines. He opened some sort of valve on the cylinders and blue flames jet out on the power strokes.
Man, with all that exposed valve gear in that engine room, you could loose a finger in there.
