On Jan. 26, 1997, Subsim debuted on the world wide web. That was twenty years ago.

Clinton was president.
Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule from UK rule.
Princess Diana called for an immediate international ban on land mines.
Tony Blair became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's ear (ouch!)
Steve Jobs returned to run Apple Computers
Internet Explorer version 4 released
The first book in the award winning Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling was published.
Titanic, Jurassic Park, & Men in Black were the big films.
South Park and Buffy the Vampire Slayer began

The Story of the Web's #1 Sub & Naval Resource

Here's where I thank the people who made this happen:

Thanks to the moderators who help keep the forums sane.
Thanks to the game modders who work tirelessly to make the games even more fun.
Thanks to the donors, supporters, and contributors, you make the whole thing possible.
Thanks to the members who regularly take part in discussions, help other members, welcome new members, and make this place a home.
Thanks to the game developers who created the submarine and naval sims: we would be adrift without you.
Thanks to everyone who drops in, even for a single post. You count.

Looking forward to another 20 years!
