Tales From The Deep!

CptLoonee · 05-27-13, 05:39 PM

Since I recently lost all my saved game files in Silent Hunter IV, I have decided to start a new campaign, this time beginning before the outbreak of War at the Pacific Asiatic Fleet base in Manila (obviously before it is taken by the Japanese).

To do this, I have to start out in an old, rusty, barely seaworthy, WWI era S-boat - The S-32.

Because it's been so fun starting out in this location with this boat, I decided to start a "weekly" (likely monthly) YouTube serial WWII adventure series featuring fictional skipper Jack Landon and crew following their exploits throughout the early days of WWII.

The first installment of this series comes just weeks after Pearl Harbor and the Philippines are attacked by the Japanese, and the Americans on the ground are about to be killed/captured on the Bataan peninsula:
On Jan 2, 1942, Sub Skipper Jack Landon leads the crew of his first boat (The obsolete WWI era S-32) into the shallow waters of Manila Bay. His orders are to discover if any Japanese carriers have been moved into the bay and to obtain photographic evidence if said carriers are spotted. However, never one to pass up an opportunity, Commander Landon goes above and beyond the call of duty...but will he consign his own fate, and the fates of the 40 men under his command, to a watery grave?

Stay tuned for this week's episode of "Tales From The Deep!"

Not a full episode, but perhaps a teaser for a later one.

A major catch...followed by a major BONEHEAD move lol

Still putting together the next full length clip of the second patrol of the S-32, but here is a little clip of the first patrol of the second boat in the campaign, the Narwhal-class, USS Nautilus:
