I'll just go flushing myself down the toilet after sending this "update":

Very cool. Seeing a grim reaper on a conning tower would've been quite unsettling, probably like seeing Topp's Red Devil. That is provided one was ever lucky enough to see the sub before it attacked in the first place.

Seeing a conning tower - period - would have been quite unsettling :D

Thanks but I can't make contact. She's got her user name @ yahoo listed but that doesn't work either.

Well maybe she wouldn't have wanted to draw any emblems anyway? :06:
It was worth a try though.

I just sent along a couple of entries for the contest... maybe a few more to come - and yes I know the sea dragon is unrealistic for an emblem of the time period... but I couldn't resist.

I especially like the Gazelle and am currently using it on my VIIB in Ops Monsun.

Good luck to all who enter!

True dat. I guess the lookouts would be a little too preoccupied to admire the detailing. :DL

LOOKOUT 1: "I say, chappy, that's a hun conning tower coming this way, is it not?"

LOOKOUT 2: "Rather! Shall we rouse the lads?"

LOOKOUT 1: "Just a minute. Hallo, what do we have here?"

LOOKOUT 2: "What what, old trench?"

LOOKOUT 1: "Looks to be a logo of some sort."

LOOKOUT 2: "Let's have a look (raises binoculars). Zounds, tiger, I think you may be on to something."

LOOKOUT 1: "Those jerries love to draw little pictures, eh?"

LOOKOUT 2: "Indeed. Sort of puts one in mind of a devil, doesn't it?"

LOOKOUT 1: "I was thinking more of a satyr, actually."

LOOKOUT 2: "I suppose it could be, yes."

LOOKOUT 1: "Wait, what's that?"

LOOKOUT 2: "Hmm?"

LOOKOUT 1: "Yes. Yes, yes... yes, that's most certainly a projectile of some sort coming out the front end."

LOOKOUT 2: "Certainly looks that way, yes."

LOOKOUT 1: "I don't want to seem presumptuous, but I'm guessing it's a torpedo of some sort."

LOOKOUT 2: "It IS traveling through the water."

LOOKOUT 1: "Perhaps we should alert the lads."

LOOKOUT 2: "But we ARE sure it's a satyr and not a devil that is on the conning tower?"

LOOKOUT 1 (looking through binoculars): Wait... it's most certainly a devil. My apologies, old boy for doubting you."

LOOKOUT 2: "It's quite alright, chap. Couldn't be helped."

LOOKING 1: "It is rather menacing, isn't it?"

LOOKOUT 2: "What is?"

LOOKOUT 1: "The devil on the conning tower. As if they're taking a piss."

LOOKOUT 2: "At us, you mean?"

LOOKOUT 1: "Why certainly. I mean you don't think they'd go through all the damn trouble to paint a damn devil on their bridge to alienate the bloody french would they?"

LOOKOUT 2: "I suppose you're right. I'll wake the lads."

LOOKOUT 1: "Too late."

LOOKOUT 2: "How's that?"


(huge explosion)

^^ :haha::haha::har::har: Ho boy. :rotfl2:

OK with the Conning Tower emblem, ( very nice ) but I hope its not for the"Title" of your post? :hmmm: "USS Snakehead"..........????



Better not let him see this.

@ LiveGoat: :rotfl2::rock:

Very droll, old fellow!




@ Elder-Pirate: Love your sig, but it's kind of big.

@LiveGoat: :rotfl2:

I could imagine that as a BlackAdder-type sketch.

Sea dragons don't seem unrealistic to me. It's a good clean emblem. :salute:
One more entry to keep the lookouts busy looking at Jerry's little pictures. Thought I'd try a Viking or Norseman type.

I meant it was a rather intricate design for the 1940's (with the shading)... but thanks for the kind words, Torp!

I did it again...
