On a submarine, the captain (xo,officer of the deck, etc.) will come over the 1MC (submarine's intercom) and announce "set condition 1SQ for (missle launch, surface target, submerged target, etc)". When an SQ condition is announced, it means battle stations, and that the announcement is a drill. 4SQ is to secure from battle stations and end the drill.

When 1SQ is ordered by the skipper whether in actual launch proceedings or in drill, the boat goes to a state of physical readiness in relation to its attitude with the sea around it. Kind of like setting up for a low level gun run only different. This is its depth, speed, pitch etc. When the order is given to set 1SQ the ships firing computers take over those calculations automatically from the guys driving the boat manually. The computers adjust between ordered speed, depth, etc and what is actual speed, depth etc and sets them for launch.

When Gene Hackman gives the order to the chief of the boat "Set condition 1SQ and spin up missiles 1 through 8". it sends chills down my spine. He is such a great actor. Thanks for explaining what that term means. I hope things never get to that point except to knock the hell out of isis and the taliban mother f@ckers.

it is a designation for swim qualifications 1sq if i remember right is just a basic swimmer. while wsq stands for water safety qualified which means you can be a life guard at a pool.
