There is a directive of what to do after emptying an SSBN. It is highly classified, but I can say that sadly it does not include any time for Miller. I do like the shirt though.

20 years ago today, USS San Francisco (SSN 711) collided with a sea mount at high speed.
Sadly the collision killed MM2 Joseph Ashley & injured 70 others.
The injured crew performed an emergency blow & managed to gain positive buoyancy, limping back to Guam.
"but Dad, how did you isolate the linear accelerometers from the submarine's angular motion?"
"well son, the specifics are classified. but check out the head stabilization the American Kestrel uses to isolates their eyes from their motion in flight to stay focused on prey."
