Hunt For the Red October did it for me. Then came the forth grade. I bought a small submarine book and loved the look of the German U-Boat. I also grabbed what the school library had for sub books, but mostly modern ones. Checked out "Run Silent, Run Deep" and was hooked! Then my dad brought home Red Storm Rising for computer. I sat in class memorizing the different Russian Sub Classes. I loved the Seawolf. Sometime later he brought home Silent Service II. That got fun using "straight shot" Torpedoes. I was used to working with homing torpedoes with safety systems from RSR. Then Later Das Boot, and U-571. Pirated off SHII from Mourphous and haven't looked back since. I was floored when I saw SHIII and made a note to grab it. Now I want to find novels and probably get into R/C boats now. Amazing what a game will do to you.
