At standard speed the Narwhale (in the game) makes 14 knots but this makes her range about 4,500 NM give or take a few. At 9 knots i can make 8,000 NM or so. Thats pretty short range for such a big boat, was it like that in RL?
Nautilus and Narwhale were the same class i think and (im not sure) at least one of these two Cruiser submarines operated out of Pearl Harbor. In game you'd refuel at Midway on you're way to you're area but you'd have to crawl there and back and only stay on station for a short time. Is that how they really did it? Also i read somewhere that the Narwhale was mostly assigned special ops.
Man... it must have taken months on patrol with her. :o

You can use S3D to change range/speed in Narwhal.sim file

thanks for the link, I read the whole thing. It was very informative. Now i just hope that i can make that 20,000 NM @ 5 knots in the game:DL
