Why is Drum scared of Mizuho? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Submarines are always hot shit until you can actually see them. In this case Drum is just really nervous since she's incredibly exposed and hoping that Mizuho doesn't hold a grudge.

    I mean she wasnt nervous about that Destroyer and Heavy Cruiser staring daggers at her instead?

    One can depth charge her if she tries to hide, one can smack her with an 8-inch shell right now, and then there's the one that's close enough to ram her at a moment's notice. (Trust me, ramming subs was incredibly common practice throughout both World Wars, especially in the Royal Navy) I guess being nervous about all three is not mutually exclusive.

    That dose rate would be VERY QUICKLY fatal to a human!

    10,000 mSv/h isn't as bad as you'd think, you'd have to stay there for a consciously bad amount of time before you were beyond saving. Don't take this the wrong way though, this isn't a healthy amount of radiation, but it's not going to kill you if you were exposed to it for a minute or so. So technically it's safe to hug your Okuu for a minute before you get some radiation sickness medicine in you.

    For comparison:

    • Normal annual background radiation dose: 3.65 mSv (at this rate, received in 1.3 seconds)
    • Maximum permitted annual dose for US radiation workers: 50 mSv (18 seconds)
    • Dose producing symptoms of radiation poisoning: 400 mSv (2 minutes, 24 seconds)
    • Severe radiation poisoning, possibly fatal: 2000 mSv (12 minutes)
    • Fatal radiation dose with essentially no possibility of survival even with treatment: 8000 mSv (48 minutes)

    At least that's long enough for a quick roll in the hay without your nads getting melted before you're done.
