I love the touch of the Captain turning his cap around to look through the periscope like something out of a U-boat movie.  It is, again, outrageously retro, but I'll let that slide because it's so funny.
Only noticed in this episode, but it's evidently been there all along that he's got the same kind of mostly-white eyes as Sanada.  Hmmm.  Might this perhaps be explained as having some connection with his illness?

...at roughly the same time as you must have been watching that, I saw a different snippet of that same (second mentioned) episode... the one Logan linked to... and that snippet fried my ten-year-old brain and turned me into a diehard anime fan for life.
I guess it's all in the moment.

Based on Wikipedia's dates for when the series was broadcast, I was in my early twenties, and trying (without enormous success) to not make too much of a disaster of my final year of college.  I didn't have a great deal of energy and thought to spare.
Edit:  One thought I want to add -- the scenes of chaos aboard the ship, and then abruptly it's fully battle-ready, reminded me of a newspaper column I read long, long ago.  The columnist was talking about Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and said (approximate quote):

In nearly every episode, somebody, usually an invisible monster from outer space, drops an atomic bomb on the sub, and all heck breaks loose. 
The sub tumbles, end over end...  [Description of equipment tearing loose from walls, fires breaking out, etc.]  Somebody yells, "Close the crash wall!" but not before the invisible monsters invade the ship and kill half the crew.
In the midst of all this carnage, Captain Crane, obviously mortally wounded, crawls to an intercom and asks briskly, "Engine Room, how soon can we be repaired and under way?"
"In about ten minutes," comes the reply from the engine room, where they have evidently been holding a psychedelic dance and haven't noticed that the sub was just a-bombed....
Now this is utter nonsense.  There is six months work to be done on that sub, if they can even raise it from the bottom of the ocean.  As the French would say, It is to laugh.

As I said, this is an approximate quote -- but I found it so funny and memorable when I read it all those years ago that I'm pretty sure it's very close .
