I'm sitting here, trying to escape a destroyer SW of Peleliu. I found myself switching between the hydrophone view and the conning tower view. I try to play the game in First Person when I can and want to get a fairly realistic experience out of the game. I understand there was no specific location the captain should be at. Where would he be in a general quarters situation? If the helmsman is in the conning tower and the plansmen are in the control room, I'm not quite sure how that would work in a silent running situation.
