Well, I did it. Raised my hand and signed my life over again.
I just began a tour on the USS Nautilus. First mission was simple and uneventful: Supply drop in Borneo. At least I was able to dust off my navigation skills before getting in any entanglements.
Radio message indicates the Japanese are poised to invade the island. Hopefully I can make their journey a little less comfortable.
UPDATE: Well, that didn't last long! Shortly after I posted this, I stumbled upon about half of the Japanese Navy in a giant convoy. I was woefully unprepared. In the end, my impatience is what killed me (time compressing when I shouldn't have.) Didn't even get to fire a shot. RIP crew.
