a 300 foot sub is not going to pitch much, but i think it will pitch more than our stock SH4 installations. I think leo got the rolling close to where it should be with his latest ROW.

Regardless of the higher freeboard of the US subs, they rolled liked crazy, just the nature of a rounded hull boat verse that of a normal deep V hull. You can get a sense of this when reading Silent Running and Iron Coffins, especially looking at the pictures. My life experience is offshore V hulled type boats (50-60 feet)

i really like video number two. I'm not happy unless im on the verge of getting sea sick while manning the bridge in anything other than calm seas.
