That would actually be the "USS Sinking Soon" - the SS designation simply means submarine in the US Navy code system:
BB= Battleship
BC = Battle cruiser
CV = Fleet carrier
CVL = Light carrier
CVE = Escort carrier
CA = Heavy cruiser
CL = Light cruiser (may have been a CLA for those AAA light cruisers w/ the 6 quick firing 5" gun turrets - memory fails here)
DD = Destroyer
DE = Destroyer escort
SS = submarine

(there were more for minor and auxiliary vessels but those were the main ones).

USS = is appended to every ship in commission and stands for United States Ship - it is akin to HMS in the Royal Navy.

Gonna keep mine in the pen for awhile yet, but getting a new computer so SH4 is looking better:yep: I'll wait until after the game is released to do this, then hopefully build it accordingly.

Sounds like another Nazi black project :88)

I'm looking forward to the pacific, scents my grandfather served in that theater of war on a destroyer.

USS ESSESS
