THE SUBMARINE WAS BRAND-NEW, AND THE CAPTAIN WAS ANXIOUS TO – – –
RTY WNE UG ADE =
Today’s cartoon brings us inside a submarine’s control room where a brand-new vessel is about to be put to the test. The captain gives the order to begin the descent, eager to see what his new ship can handle. The crew snaps into action, repeating the command and acknowledging it with the classic “aye, aye” as the dive begins. With anticipation building and everything in place, it’s clear they’re ready to take this thing out for its first real spin.

➤ THE CAPTAIN
The captain stands behind the seated crew, giving the order to dive. He has a crew cut hairstyle and is wearing a short-sleeve collared shirt with visible front pockets, along with a watch on his left wrist.
➤ AT THE CONTROLS
Two crew members are seated side by side at the console. The operator on the left grips joystick-style controls, while the other sits adjacent at the station. The crew members are dressed in jumpsuit-style uniforms, each with a band around the right upper arm.
➤ IN THE BACKGROUND
A periscope is visible behind the captain, along with panels, buttons, and monitoring equipment lining the control room.
🧠 FINAL SOLVE
The final answer was an 11-letter anagram that would solve into a 3 + 8 layout. Our Hump Day solve did not take long to get going. With the captain clearly eager to begin the descent, it had me looking for words tied to moving or starting. Once I saw the U in the layout, I figured UNDER would be part of the answer. After pulling those letters out, it was easy to spot GET and then tack on WAY to finish it off. If today’s puzzle tide you down, our nudges were the captain giving the order to start the dive, along with the parroted “aye, aye” confirmation from the crew member.
