Welcome back to the surface matey and a word of understanding about how so many feel.

My father lied about his age to join the MN and participated in the Spanish Civil war, he was also at Dunkirk, last ship to leave Marseille before it fell (RN having left the day before), only convoy to sail to Murmansk without an armed escort and Normandy amongst other places.

What angers me is the fact his bravery was never formally recognised by the UK government before he died yet he was awarded a from the Russian Ambassador in London well over twenty years ago.

Despite the above I play U-boat sims because I feel I can identify the difference between real life and computer games but that is not meant to take anything away from your feelings...we all deal with life in different ways.
