OMG... I didn't mean to bump this thread from the dead as it were... and as it nears it's year's anniversary (Happy birthday dear thread!)... I just HAD to say it... you're not wrong jimbuna mon ami. I've been searching for this rarity for ages and ages... DANKE LORD KITCHENER!!!!
This is going straight onto my SHIII/SHIV gramophones (including my ipod
). Pure class. Every sub needs Al Bowlly, especially this classic. THANK YOU LORD!
PS: You probably already know, but for those reading who might not; she was a modded 1943 Balao class sub in the film... USS Tilefish (SS-307), or actually then the ARV Carite (S-11) under ownership of the Venezuelan Navy. Hmm I wonder who sold her to them, and for how much? :hmm: Heh, well anyway.. she saw action in WWII & Korea and had quite an interesting life before being cannibalized for spare parts in 1977. Sad.
I agree, she had a cool paint job for sure, and to my eyes had a really crazy look about her with that cigarette deck stuck on to make it look somewhat U-Boat-ish. Nice mod job though, whoever did it (maybe you're here on Subsim, reading this?)
Good hunting (and happy listening)!
