If you wake up one day and decide you aren't going to do your tech job anymore you don't have to worry about being sent to jail for dereliction of duty.

Anyone on a submarine who likes to read brings their own Kindle with them.

If you're deployed for six months and you like to read you've brought your own e-reader loaded with books you want to read with you.

I do and I know sailors bring their laptops, phones and Kindles on board.

These hatches are approximately 3x3x1 ft. Steel weighs about 500 lbs per square ft. How would you raise and lower a 4500 lb hatch manually? They need to be heavy duty, the keep the ocean on the outside of the submarine.

Why did you think the hatches could be manually closed?

Haven't you seen Fight Club? If the cost of settling lawsuits is less than than the cost of issuing the recall then you didn't issue the recall. There is a continuum, at some point the cost of lowering the risk of a catastrophic failure becomes more than the cost of the catastrophic failure.
