What event made you go "oh shit" more than anything else (that you can talk about)?

P.S. I'm a sub veteran myself. Former DCA on the USS Asheville.

That was one of my favorites. I would always play along and say something along the lines of "very well, the DCA is ready to be blown."

There's no internet access which allows for some pretty hilarious pranks. We had one guy on board who was a huge Maroon 5 fanboy and right after we got underway we spread the rumor that Adam Levine had died in a car accident. Poor guy had no way to check if we were bullshitting or not for over a month.

Walking into the AMR and the room watch actually being awake and attentive on his watch station. Never had that happen with the torpedo room watch though...JK :)

I have a lot of contenders (most of which I don't think I can talk about.) Probably the easiest one to explain was when we had a major refrigerant rupture in the AMR and had to call away a toxic gas casualty and evacuate everyone in EABs to the engine room. In hindsight probably wasn't that dangerous but that was my first cruise so that one always sticks in my mind.

EDIT: If we're talking a literal "oh shit" moment it would have to be when one of my auxillarymen forgot to shut the cross connect and ended up blowing about 400 gallons of shit water all over lower level and the galley. That was a fun critique.
