I've got both vols 1 and 2 of Silent Victory, one of my most valued books. It's more than a book, it's a testament.

Somewhere in the dim recesses of my mind I seem to recall the ONR having at least three P-3s on strength that spent a lot of time in the air around the world conducting research on the earth's magnetic field. I think the name of the endeavor was "Project Magnet," oddly enough. I now understand why such detailed studies were undertaken.

I believe there were also some MSC ships that conducted detailed magnetic research as well.

EDIT: Installed your "buck" mod. I am using the 125% option only, the lowest-powered one. Even so I get a whacking great "bang" when the thing goes off, and the hole is somewhat larger although not enormously so. Did you change the sound of the torpedo detonation? Didn't know Yamato's sweet spot was between turrets 1 and 2. My experience has been it takes between 9 and 10 torpedoes to sink that ship, and that in the "single mission" menu. I haven't run across the ship on the high seas yet in my campaign.
