Were US subs ever "blue"?
 
Ever since playing the original game I have wondered this. In the vanilla version, the secondary skin for the US subs looks blue. Is that correct in any way?

We all live on a yellow submarine. LOL. I should have that playing one day while sinking ships.

I also saw this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Submarine_fiction on fictional sub stores.

As for the original question - I haven't seen any blue submarines. We have a black Russian sub at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA and I went on the USS Bowfin at Pearl Harbor and I believe that was more gray . . . maybe a blue gray, but more gray.
