Well, this morning I logged onto Subsim fully expecting an April Fool article. What I found was so well done that I had to do a double-take, just to make sure it wasn't real :o

Well done, Neal!

:rock:

Fooled Bill? The highest compliment :yep:

Guys, if you have time, spread the link to other websites, blogs, and forums, it's a blast to watch this unfold across the web. :up:

I've spread it across to Uktrainsim and Qpawn sites, not really a member of any other large scale forums.

The best way to do it, I think, is to use the [url] tags so that people don't actually see the URL, as Neal has done in the first post of this thread.

Oh, and Easter eggs are fun :up:

Suckered me good, you did!:rotfl:

I honestly was going for this until I kept reading. :rotfl:

"I Found the Subsim 2008 April Fool's Easter Egg!"
 

Nice one!

Chris

Found that easter egg :)
 

Craziness... I was wondering when I started reading about 340 women... That's too many for 2 subs, and there aren't that many female nuclear-trained officers and chiefs (I think).

Very well written Neal! Perhaps you and Brag should write something humorous? :hmm:

PD

I was a believer untill I scrolled down far enough to see the Subsim Almanac advertisement.

The coup de grâce for the article would have been if they announced the names of the new subs being commissioned for this purpose:

SSN-784 USS Amazon
SSN-785 USS Valkyrie

I figured it was a fake really quick.. glad I was right lol

Yep had me going for a few minutes

I posted it to Navy Together We Served. I am sure the old salts will have a conniption fit at this one.

Very bad taste.

I'm disappointed there are still people in the world that believe women should be restricted from any job.


The people who made this fake article should be ashamed of themselves... I know they won't be though, just the way the world is.

What is this world coming to?

Lighten up a lil bit. There are obvious and legitimate reasons why women cannot serve on submarines.
