- I've been the cause of a sub
slowing down a little until I could get the striper into the boat. It
was pretty amusing actually - the escort Coastie wanted me to cut the
line and get out of the way, but the sub commander broke in (I assume
his communications officer) said he'd wait for five minutes.

He thought you said "stripper". That's why he waited. He was wondering why
you threw her overboard.
