Once again relying on the observation that THIS forum is not...over worked, I thought I'd post the titles of two Real World submarine books that I have recently finished. As a 'graduate' from the Surface Fleet, I knew 'the boats' tied up "over there", but not much else. They were/are a pretty *tight* crew, and while I have shared a number of 'suds' with them, not much else did I know. So, when SH3 found it's way to my computer, it was a lot of new stuff...in spite of all the Green Water Over the Bow that I'd seen. Eager to fill in some blanks I have 'pumped' all the Old Retired Squids I could find, and a few Active Duty ones...although THEIR 'modern' experiences seem no part of SH3 and SH4 World.

So...down to the biblioteca and "U Boat Ace", the TRUE story of a German Skipper, and likewise a TRUE story written by the skipper of HALIBUT, AUG 43 to DEC 44, "Take Her Deep!"

Both are great reads... if anybody wants to 'immerse'...not just Play the Game.

Hope you can find these...
