No big deal really but looks like the props are on backwards, shouldnt the fat part of the blades be toward the bow? 1943 Balao

I noticed that, too.

The screws are either on backwards or they're turning the wrong way relative to the boat moving forward or back.

The blades are mounted correctly, though the direction they rotate is backwards from what it should be in both forward and reverse thrust. Similar to the engine sounds emanating from the wrong end of the sub when in the control room or conning tower.

And.............US stopped putting 3 blade screws on subs late 30s.

Here's another one for ya...

In SH4 ships in port fly the National Flag from the main mast. THAT'S JUST WRONG!

The flag should be on the small mast at the stern.

Officer's head cover are way wrong so lets not even go there.
