OT: Nice Photos on Website

[Deathblow]

This may be old-hat to most of you, but I ran into a nice website with tons of high quality US Navy, Army, and Aiirforce screenshots. Just wanted to share.

http://www.combatindex.com/

Photos are under each individual platform near the bottom of their respective screens.

This is a very interesting site,but some of the detail regarding early USN SSNs is missing.

[Deathblow]

Yeah, guess they stop at the SSN688.

What I found interesting was that on the LA classes, none of the photos (at least the ones I've view, I havn't looked though all of them) had the characteristic aft dive plane verticle fins like seen in the game. (The verticle fins fitted to the end of the aft rudders, like seen on the Ohio Class (http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/systems/images/ssbn735c.jpg)). The latest of the 688i, the Cheyenne, looks as if it has seperate TowedArray sails at 5oclock and 7oclock like used in the Seawolf and Virginia. http://www.combatindex.com/hardware/detail/sea/pic2/ssn773_02.html

Here's another interesting site with clips of submarines. A little bit down is even a clip of a sub as its sail breaks the polar ice. :|\

Was that.....was that a dance remix of the 'Das Boot' theme over the ending bit there? :huh:

[Oberon]

The whole of the clip has the music from the credits of Das Boot, although there is a dance remix of the song by U96:

Here's (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1380734891215672699&q=Submarine) a nice P-3C video I just found on Google Video

[Deathblow]

Very nice indeed. Nice to see the point of view of the pilot and operator in RL.

Always nice to see sources of navy-related photos and/or general timewasters. :lol:
I'll point out my favorite for the .01% of the community that don't already know it exists:

http://www.navsource.org/

I've wasted literally hours -albeit mostly company time- browsing this site.

[Deathblow]

Actually this is the first time I've heard of that site, didn't know that it existed. Grade A collection for sure. :up:
