 Just before encountering the Akula for the first time while getting an EAM,   Cob reports to Hunters cabin while Hunter is shaving. Hunter says that the   subject is uncomfortable. Cob, almost jovial, says he knows hes overweight,   but this is his last patrol and he cant stop eating. They laugh. Cob tells   Hunter that he thinks Hunter and Ramsey merely have a difference of   management styles. Then they go get something to eat.
