Online Sub Manual--Might want to sticky!

[Rockin Robbins]

There is an online manual to the real submarines, The Fleet Type Submarine, Navpers 16160, published just after WWII at http://www.maritime.org/fleetsub . There is much more there than meets the eye. I was captivated for about an hour reading the specific instructions for the sonar operator. I think I learned some things that will apply to Silent Hunter.

This is a collection of online manuals including:
1. The Fleet Type Submarine NavPers 16160
2. Submarine Main Propulsion Diesels NavPers 16161
3. Submarine Electrical Installations NavPers 16162
4. Submarine Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Systems NavPers 16163
5. Submarine Distilling Systems Navpers 16163A
6. Submarine Air Systems NavPers 16164
7. Submarine Periscope Manual NavPers 16165
8. Submarine Trim and Drain Systems NavPers 16166
9. Submarine Sonar Operator's Manual NavPers 16167
10. Submarine Underwater Log Systems NavPers 16168
11. Submarine Hydraulic Systems NavPers 16169
12. Torpedo Tubes, 21-Inch submerged, Mks 32 to 39 O.P. 1085

Hey look! Links to all the individual manuals. I'm accidentally very good there! (lost the table format though, dock me some renown for that) edit: Fixed the table, I want my renown back! The first link in my post is the first item on the list. See ya! I have to spend some serious time in the periscope manual!

Moderators, you might want to sticky this one! This is one great link.

This site is frequently linked to..

It is pretty cool.

It is a good site and linked to alot, prolly should be stickied IMO.

I see a need for a sticky because some of us have known about the site for a year or more, but a lot obviously don't.

On the other hand, I see no need for a sticky because someone rediscovers it at least once a month, and it's always being referred to.

Of course, what I see or don't see is irrelevant.

I've looked at those links before and there's good info in them.

What we need is a better game manual. Damage Control is confuseing at best. Battle Station crew Zzzz. Flak gunners that won't fire. These are fresh high rated gunners who no matter what you order , short range,medium or closeing target they won't fire. What's up with that ?


These two and some few other things need to be in a manual update from UBI or some knowledgeable members for us less knowing members.


I did a search and saw three different answers to damage control question. Makes me wonder ????? :hmm:

I agree, the DC is confusing. what do the different shades; ie: red/pink mean when the men light up? Still trying to figure that one out.

Although, this is the first time I have seen those links...awesome information....Thanks!
