I spent three years aboard the USS Darter (SS-576) from 1984-1987. I was qualified as Helmsman/Planesman, Lookout, and Quartermaster of the Watch.

My second Navy career took me to MCM Crew Implicit from 2005 to 2008 as a Damage Controlman and my crew served on the Mine Countermeasures Ships Defender (MCM-2), Warrior (MCM-10), Dextrous (MCM-13), and Pioneer (MCM-9). I was in the Engineering Dept. and qualified as Main Machinery Room Operator, Propulsion Control Console Operator, Engineering Duty Officer, and Engineering Officer of the Watch.

I can say that my qualifications and experience as a helmsman and navigator help a lot in playing the game, but I don't believe that type of experience is necessary to enjoy it.
