Things have changed quite a bit since the last time I seriously played a sub sim. Going to date myself here, but I did Gate and Silent Service on an Apple IIE back in the day..... They were fun, but are nowhere near what is available today.
Looking forward to jumping in with both feet and getting advice from all of you pros out there. The Silent Hunter franchise appears to be a huge universe and I am going to excitedly explore as much as I can.
Other not so interesting stuff about me. Live in Virginia and work for the Navy (surface ships, not subs!) as a civilian engineer. Currently on loan to the USMC for a few weeks on a special project. Have the standard issue lifestyle of wife, kids, dogs, and a mortgage.
Thanks!

Welcome aboard; Stay out of the Ospreys; Just delivered my daughter to Smithsonian for MA internship and had great time in Georgetown and Arlington! Started off with aces of Deep on windows 98 myself before the terrifying leap to windows 7 and the third millennium. If you're designing windows (ports/ hatches) on navy ships, remember Virginia is for 'louvers'!
