I do make my own missions now and have come up with some fun ones. Yes, i have to get more skilled in how to operate these wonderful computers. I hate to admit this but I actually needed the geek squad once. Pretty much during the Cold war era, most of our runs were hiding off of Murmansk and wait for something interesting to head out to sea. We of course would track and generate sound profiles on them. We would play watchdog for NR-1 on occaision. But the most fun was wire tapping Soviet underwater telephone lines. Another common mission in those day was called "under-hull surveys". That means you get close and I mean real close and take photo's of their screws and hull using the #2 scope. That is when the CO calls for "Rig ship for ultra quiet". When you heard that if you were not on watch, you go to your bunk, no flushing the water closets either.
