Stand and salute, here are your SUBSIM Best of 2019

[Onkel Neal]

Congratulations to the SUBSIM Best of 2019 winners!

No web forum or community would last long without friendly, thoughtful people contributing their time and talent for the common good. Subsim will be 23 years old in a few weeks, and we owe it to the guys who keep this place fun! Thank you, each and every one,

Onkel Neal

Congrats!!! :salute:

[Fifi]

Wow...many thanks for this awesome award! :yeah:

I want to dedicate this award to Lurker first, with his hard work creating Operation Monsun.
Then, i want to salute the work from S7rikeback, Propbeanie and KaleunMarco my friends who helped me to enhance the original Lurker’s creation.

SH4 is a great platform for U-Boats, at least as good as for US submarines.
Many things remains to be done, each day a little bit more, to raise this platform beyond the iconic SH3 level.
I still believe SH4 can get best of both world SH3 & 5!

Many thanks again guys, and long live U-Boats in SH4! :Kaleun_Cheers:

[Randomizer]

This post went through a half-dozen iterations in an attempt to seem irreverent or humorous. In the end though, the PM from Onkel Neal was one of the nicest surprises I have had in quite some time.

Thank you to the entire SubSim Family: I am humbled and honoured.

[bstanko6]

I had no idea I was considered at any time. Thank you so much for the support. It was Subsim that gave me the knowledge, that I hopefully gave back to a newer generation of subsimmers! Thank you very much. Most honored.

Onkel Neal Mentioned Subsim Coming up to her twenty third Birthday.
Heres to the next 23 Years ill drink to that :Kaleun_Cheers:

Ha heres something Fitting could have been written for Subsim

Poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Thou, too, sail on, O Ship of State!
Sail on, O Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
We know what Master laid thy keel,
What Workmen wrought thy ribs of steel,
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what a forge and what a heat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
'Tis of the wave and not the rock;
'Tis but the flapping of the sail,
And not a rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee.
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant o'er our fears,
Are all with thee, -are all with thee!

To all the Other Award Winners keep up the Good Work Guys!
