Now that the cat is out of the bag, so to speak, on the Virginia class submarine -- at least according to the article linked from this site, I thought I would share what I did in the Virginia text file for the 2004-campaign in order to affect the requisite changes.

(Apparently, I deleted, as opposed to commenting out, the number seven and eight torpedo tubes. According to published data, and apparent from some Virginia photographs, the submarine has but four torpedo tubes. Still, for gaming purposes, I like six as opposed to the eight torpedo tubes as provided by the designer of the 2004-campaign. Not the designer's fault, really, as the model he used has eight torpedo tubes and there is really nothing he could do to change eight torpedo tubes appearing on the submarine).

To anyone wondering, I have played numerous missions in the 2004-campaign with the provided changes with no issues.
