I am reading allot on uboataces.com, great site BTW, and I was just day dreaming, could you imagine if they lined up every U-boat made and gave you a day by yourself to just explore each one? Climb into each of them and walk around one by one..

Do you think a day would be enough or to long?

Imagine being able to take them out to sea with an experinced crew, would you be nervous about diving in a vintage ( but operational ) U-boat?

If everything were functioning, I could imagine spending a good portion of one day just crawling through a VIIc. Hell I would eat up half a day just taking pictures :p

I could spend a day just listening to the intro music in GWX.... Give me a real sub and I'll probably just live there... I practically live in a sub anyway

I could EASILY spend an entire day exploring every nook and cranny of a single a WW2 diesal boat, let alone all of them.

I does not even have to function, heck I'd bring my own mp3 player and take the sound files with me. If that wasn't enough I might even start making my own noises, ok so I'd have to leave before the guys in white suites come for me. n/p

Yea - totally. It would be cool to see all the engineering details - like take up the floor plates - see everything that the mechanics had access to during damage control, etc.

I could spend months in just one of them. It took a qualitfied crew months of time and years of training to learn everything about the boat...

I could never have enough time.

Exactly, there are so many small opearating details I would love to learn.

But then I am a confirmed WWII subnut as I am sure all of us are.

I mean how normal can we be? We post technical details on a video game forum LoL

Well just remember you'll need an awful lot of oxygen bottles because most of em are at the bottom of the sea (may their crews rest in peace) :arrgh!:
