Tmaru and the "Bathtub"

Thinking of putting it back, for two reasons:

1.) This post:

So even if you're past the date of the conning tower update, your boat needs to get a refit to receive it.

So accordingto Dan, its not broke. I did acutally see a refit ONCE, when the game first came out, lost the bathtub and wondered why.



2.) Tower design is historically correct.

And if THIS picture doesnt prove it, nothing will:

Personally, i'd like to put it back, but i'll go with the concensus on this one.
