This was well done... but it could have been better if not for all the mistakes in it. Fear writers over the last three years have taken some very stupid short cuts. They knew nothing about fallout, nothing about radiation, and certainly didn't do any research on the Navy or Submarines. First, Subs are detached for long term missions, so long hair and beards are unacceptable. One crewman is a designated barber. Second, no officer is going to allow a crewman to address him as 'man'. Third, they got no messages? How fast did this damn zombie whatever spread? And lastly, they were ordered to fire on American cities? No one on board a sub has the ability to reprogram a missile. Nor do they have the missile keys. Those keys the officers had? Those are to unlock a safe that gives access to a code that lets them open another safe where the launch keys are. This is to stop exactly the stupid events of where the Pennsylvania's missiles were launched. Which leads to: Nuclear explosions can be seen from miles away. So no one from the commonwealth or anywhere else the Walking Dead survivors are saw them? And fallout SPREADS. It spreads wide. Parts of the country would be contaminated. Lastly, US submarine missiles are MIRVS, multiple launch reentry warheads. They could devastate a small nation. Lastly, the guy gets to call home JUST in time for his wife and kid to get eaten? This would have been so much better if not for the lazy writing.
