High Risk Trainers
The Navy operates four high risk trainers at New London that sub school classes attend in random order. They are:
- Fire Fighting - Students are instructed in the differences between submarine and surface ship fire fighting and the special equipment used in sub-surface fire fighting.
- Damage Control - Sailors are required to patch leaks and seal ruptured pipes before their compartment completely floods.
- Submarine Escape - Personnel learn how to successfully escape from a disabled submarine.
- Ship Control - i.e. "Dive And Drive." Students learn how to steer and dive/rise the submarine.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or risk:
“I remember once dreaming of pushing a canoe up the rivers of Maine, and that, when I had got so high that the channels were dry, I kept on through the ravines and gorges, nearly as well as before, by pushing a little harder, and now it seemed to me that my dream was partially realized.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is not a piece of fine feminine Spitalfields silk—but is of the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships’ cables & hausers. A Polar wind blows through it, & birds of prey hover over it. Warn all gentle fastidious people from so much as peeping into the book—on risk of a lumbago & sciatics.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
