A series of maneuvers which a submarine crew exercises to prove their readiness for sea. The intent is to verify proper stowage of all items. Shortly after deployment, once a submarine has reached deep water, this exercise is performed and the sub repeatedly dives and rises at increasingly steeper angles. If an item is improperly stowed it will shift (or dangle) and generate noise. Since silence is of utmost importance during a submarine's mission these maneuvers are often performed during inspections to show high ranking officers that the crew has the appropriate concern for the Ship's mission. On rare occasions these maneuvers are performed for spectators (or riders), and in this case they serve a dual purpose; still proving a ships readiness for sea, but also demonstrating the capabilities of these magnificent warships.
Pot and pans, in the ship's galley, could be heard clanking by sonar during angles and dangles, indicating that the cooks were not properly prepared for a silent mission.

Refers to Kurt Angle’s run in TNA (Total Nonstop Action) , where he was often “perked up” to deal ongoing injuries. This era of Kurt Angle was legendary as he regularly did stage dives, moonsaults off cages, and had little regard for his health.

"He was working on a caboose with an angle cock that was allegedly defective. Later that day, in preparation for a switching operation, he attempted to release the air in the brake system by turning the angle cock. He testified that, because the angle cock was stiff, he had to use excessive force to loosen it." Erskine v. Consolidated Rail Corp., 814 F.2d 266 (6th Cir. 1987)

Hang angle of a dude's hang dangle is important for comfortable sitting, kneeling and effective cougar hunting. A Jibber or park rat can lose his hang dangle if the hang angle ain't right while riding in the park and pipe.
