Hey all

My interest in all things sub-related has got me reading pretty well anything with subs in it and I'm just reading HMS Ulysses. That is one seriously scary book. It's interesting to read it from the point of view of the ship commander as opposed to the submariner and the descriptions of the sheer horror of being on a ship with subs around makes very scary reading.

There's me in my ignorance thinking that being on a ship wouldn't be too bad as you've always got a chance of getting off if the ship's going down but, in reality, it looks just as bad as being in a sinking sub. Reading about the way people are in the sea with the surface covered in burning oil really got to me.

I know this is not really SH3 related but I really recommend it as a (really scary) read.
