I don't have the game yet (was away when the postman rang, grr). But I've read on the board there's only limited info on the actual subs in the game.
I don't know if all that info is in the manual, but since I was a little bored I decided to take a look at Wikipedia and get some much needed info there. I've made a short list of what I've found, and what I know to be in the game. I've limited this info to:
- Displacement
- Length
- Speed
- Range
- Test Depth
- Complement
- Armament

I'm a sharing kinda guy, so here goes, and enjoy!

BTW, I've included info for 3 slightly different Porpoise types, since I don't know which one is in the game.
