Hello & Greetings,

I am Captain Beau from the M/V Cape Ann, a 100+' harbor tugboat stationed in Texas...I served aboard the USS Portsmouth SSN - 707 in the early 90's...

I have been subsim-ming since "Gato" in 1991...SH4 is my first time back to subsims since 1997...I haven't forgotten much as my very first war patrol on Normal scored 43,000+ tonnes of Japanese shipping even with the bum torps...Did you know skippers wpould get into trouble and even get relieved of command for adjusting the torp settings to actually work??? Of course you guys probably do...

The BUGS killed me halfway through patrol 2 :wah:
