Ha ha, no, my last official naval experience was as coxwain of my sea cadet corps many long years ago. We used to go out in YAG's and, one memorable summer, on repurposed lobster boats (being, under naval supervision, the cleanest lobster boats on Earth).
Since then I've been studying as a naval historian, and have spent some time academically observing (and occasionally teaching) militaries of various Western countries. Actually, I don't know very much about U-boats at all. I've always shied away from the Second World War as being too full of people who actually know that they're talking about and can show me up for the fraud that I am. Currently I'm working on questions of naval intelligence and institutional structure in the postwar period.
