Will we be able to go to and from these bases for training missions/tutorials, re-fits, new ships and for their intial shake-downs before entering active duty?

It would nice to see The San Francisco Bay and pas under the Golden Gate, head north past Alcatraz and into the Napa County/Vallejo delta area. Everytime I fly over that area, I zone out and stare at the history quietly deteriorating below me.
It was would stimulating, awe-inspiring and emotional at the least to sail into Pearl and see the wreckage still strewn about the bay, it would be nice to see the progressive clean up of the bay over numerous trips to Pearl.

From all my readings, it seems both these places struck the Skippers and crew of US subs deeply...it would add an enormous amount of immersion for me.

The devs already said the golden gate will be there. I would think alcatraz would also be there.

No idea about Pearl.

I think I've read in one preview that you can actually start your career in Pearl. I don't see why the wouldn't model one of the key harbors.

I hope they don't forget to have BB-39 at her eternal resting place...

If they put up the Golden Gate bridge it's gotta have traffic on it or it's just an derelict spooky artifact. If you have traffic then you gotta include Highway 101....then the Presidio and Golden Gate Park becomes a must. Makes you wonder where it all ends. ;)

I've flown under Golden Gate bridge in flight sims ... now I would like to let off a few
rounds of AA at the bridge, as I pass under, on my way out of town of course. :rock:
