To the community with the friendliest, most knowledgeable, most eccentric and entertaining subsimmers in this corner of the universe. I command Admiral Lockwood's garbage scow until someone else steps out of line worse than I did (I insulted a fellow captain who turned out to be the Admiral's favorite daughter's man. Hint: don't do that). I'm also his aide, and I'd invite you to meet with him to welcome you to the fleet, but he spliced one too many mainbraces last night and is a bit ornery. You don't want a meeting with the Admiral when he's cranky.
Word to the wise: complete his missions and you can do whatever you choose for extra credit. But if you freelance without completing his missions you'll find yourself in his office. The only one I've seen go into Admiral Lockwood's office and leave with a smile has been Mush Morton.
But check out the forum. I highly recommend WernerSobe's

A Brief Introduction to the Pacific Submarine War is also outstanding. Watch out for that DavyJonesFootlocker guy though. He has the admiral's daughter and you don't want to cross him.
