Please don't get any crazy thoughts and try to mod this into the game.

I actually stood on top on the original sub when I was a teenager. It used to be on campus at J.F.K. High School in Paterson, NJ. Had my picture taken on it, though I don't know what happened to it over the years. Now, I think it's housed in some old museum in the downtown section. It's a pretty small sub. Smaller than a standard transit bus but, about the same girth, if my memory serves me right.

I managed to get neutral boyancy about 5 - 10 feet off the sea floor. Once i saw it was perfect, i left it alone until i got bored and surfaced it. Nevermind I was at work at the time, and let it run in the background while i did my job. lol

The first part of your sentence is what I'm doing right now, but I have to turn off my computer soon. So no sense in trying to catch up with you

Dunno how, but i sunk the sub to about 900 feet....it just fell off the screen...

lol ducimus on the SH 6 on release day thing.

I was thinking what a PITA yet fun it would be to play the diving officer on a fleetboat, trying to get the trim just right and level off at correct depth, esp during evasion of destroyer and charges.
