My CO on the Pasadena was a Buck Ensign on the USS Seawolf SSN 575. This boat was built identical to a Balao class but much bigger to house the Reactor equipment and a few other spaces. Anyhow, He and I got into a discussion about how much more responsive those boats, the one with the controls AFT of the screws were over the Modern Nuke boats. There is a pivot effect that the sims dont model very well at all. Hopefully someday someone will get it, as it helps the subs maneuver better.
