I do appreciate all the help and advice.
So everyone knows I am not anti-U-Boat or any nation. When I first went into Subs, when Moby Dick was Minnow, there were still COs and COBs around that had made patrols in WWII, plus Sub School was a museum of WWII Boats and all the heroes. My first Boat was out of Pearl Harbor and they had just finished installing the Sub Memorial on the Sub Base. Plus Admiral Flucky was SUBPAC and Capt. Street had one of the Squadrons. All of that made me a real fleet boat fan. I am sure I will try the U-Boats. You know how it is a serious case of hero worship and envy you missed out, also guys I am old enough that the Silent Service was on TV and until I enlisted I never missed an episode. The career mission are so neat for me because often you are assigned to a boat from history. But, I am sure that is the case with the U-Boats in the U-Boat mod. I believe the U-Boat sailors were truly heroic and dedicated people. I understand others enjoying those boats as I enjoy the fleet boats.

Thanks again,
