Ahhhhhh, the U-505. My parents took me through it in the 50s, I must have been 9 or 10 at the time. It's sort of what got me into Subsims later in life. I don't remember if it was Silent Service or Aces of the Deep that I got first but I spent Hours and Hours playing them. All the time remembering the feeling when I was in the U-505.

I'm sorry to hear how bad the Tour Guide is now. When we went through it the Guide was a Volunteer that served abord Gato class subs in the Pacific and old CPO in Engineering. Guy was a wealth of info and really knew the sub. He knew the whole story of how she was captured, who the Officers were, where she was built and commissioned and most of all HOW SHE WORKED! I've never forgotten her.
