When the second ship docks, you want to get inside of the hull that's behind the safe-looking door. There's a tiny walkway to get behind it. Just be careful, at the bottom of the ship is a drop hole into the water. If you go out, you won't get credit for "Securing the Darkbreak Cove"
"but where is that 'Pincer' submarine everyone is talking about?"
- The submarine is not always there, it will appear every 1-2 minutes.
- The submarine will appear on the PORT side of the same ship you pick the quest up from.
(PORT: when you're standing in the middle of the ship, and look to the bow(front) of the ship, port is on your LEFT side)
on the same side a gnome is standing near the edge (a repair-vendor).- Pick up the quest, look port side, wait for about 1-2 minutes, and the submarine will appear.
(you don't hear anything, but you'll get a red "yell" chat-line, and of course you'll see the big sub in front of you docking with your ship ;) )- Walk on board, enter the door on top, (walk around the little wall in the middle right behind the door) go downstairs, and then wait at the front porthole/window and enjoy the show :)

Description
We've located the beast that destroyed our ships. It makes its lair in Darkbreak Cove, a giant underwater cavern bordering the abyss. This time we're ready. The gnomes have been engineering a beauty for us back at Stormwind, and it's packing firepower that'll make that fiend wet itself. When the Pincer X2 pulls up to dock beside the ship, make your way on board and help out however you can. We'll be right behind you.

- A Breath of Fresh Air
Captain Taylor and many of the other survivors have already made their way to the surface. I'm sure some are just looking to rid themselves of this place for good, but we still have work to do if we're going to stop the naga from invading the plane of water.
