mine's for what i figured i'ld be most of the time, shark bait for getting sunk. hasn't happened as much as i first thought:ping:

in my 3 different careers, i am:

Kaptain Krusty

James T. Kirk

Capt. Jack

I guess I'm the weird one. In SH3 I either use the name Commander gives me or make up one I think is appropriately German-sounding: Bruno Asche was my first kaleun. Once I'm actually playing SH4 I'll probably start with something like Joseph Abernathy, or Michael Allen. Always alphabetical order.

Cp. Jack Aubrey, from the Master & Commander books, best series ever.

SH IV = Ozzy Wasbourn (don't know way ..but i like Ozzy Osbourn..a little bit nuts:lol:)
SH III = Kriegbaum ( das boot )

I use my own name and my boat is always the Paragon. :|\\

When I start a new career, I always name my new captain after the most senior officer on my boat at the end of my last career. Unless of course they are all dead, then I'll use my name usually.

I like these:


Cpt. Eriprando Manovella

Cpt. Cecco Lo Cascio

Cpt. Beniamino Caraffa


They sound funny in my language (I'm from Italy), but I suspect they sound very funny in english too :lol: ...

So I named my cat Skulking Cat:D

Shouldn't that be David E. Jones :D

I named my vertial skipper after me.

USS Devilfish
 

I use my own name for the skipper, since I am the skipper of the boat.

And as far as the name for the boat itself I use the historic name in the game.

I'd like to use the name USS Devilfish, since it is a cool sounding name for a sub.
Does anyone remember "The Winds of War" with Robert Mitchum and Jan Michael Vincent?

Why just the captain?
 

Heck, I've replaced all the crew names with the first and last names of all kinds of people, old school chums, actors, neighbours, even women that I would love to ship out with.

The game then randomizes them and I get very interesting crew.:lol:

I simply use my real name translated to the language the game is about:

-Playing Sub Command US subs, SH1 or SH4 I'm Albert Johnson or Jackson
-Playing SH3 I'm Albrecht Hansen or Albert Von Hansen
-Playing Sub Command russian subs I'm Liutenant Ivanov

Does its bit for inmersion IMO:up:
