I can't help but notice that the picture on the Subsim front page for SHIV is from the cover of The Destroyer Killer by Edwin P. Hoyt. Very cool book - it's about the story of Commander Samuel Dealey and the Gato class US sub Harder. The picture on the cover is not entirely accurate, but from the sinkings described in the book, the exploding destroyer is probably the Tanikaze. Dealey was known as the Destroyer Killer because he sank so many enemy escort vessels - after the war it appears he sank four destroyers, two frigates, one or two armed trawlers, damaged another armed trawler, may have sunk two other unidentified escorts, and sank between 10-20 merchant ships. That's a record I hope to beat when SHIV is released. :rotfl:
