Who would you take on your next misson?

If you where the captain of a U-Boat, and you had a spare bunk for your next mission who would you take? and by the way BDU has ordered you to take one of them. Your mission is to last 5 weeks. Stormy weather forecast for most of the trip. Your crew are not very happy about the 5 choices by the way. And what's your reason for taking them?

1. Interpreter - never been to sea;
2. Reporter with camera - never been to sea;
3. Intelligence Officer - never been to sea;
4. Doctor (not a medic) - never been to sea;
5. Meteorologist - has 1 U-Boat mission under his belt;


The choice is yours!

1 bunk ? ok !

I would take the Interpreter, Intelligence Officer, Doctor and the Meteorologist. 6 hrs sleep a day is enough !

Of course I do not need any paparazzi on my ship !

I would take the reporter with camera, attach a balloon to his camera, and fire him out of tube one while he hits the clicker. All sub-comanders would want to see how that view looks like.

And the camera floats.

Hmmm, none of the above. If I were a respected Kaleun and got to take someone on my boat, I'd take a couple of pretty nurses who have, how shall we say, a morally flexible attitude.

Oh, oh, torpedo running hot, straight and true!!!

Shame on you. ALL nurses are needed to take care of our brave wounded men at the front and at home. They needed to support the war effort, NOT to give you a good time when doing some sunny sailing in the Caribbean !

Drebbel's right, what were you thinking? This is a war, you cannot abuse medical staff like that when men are dying.

I'm thinking of voting to take a reporter but I have a question, is she blonde, brunette, or a redhead?

I'd go with an interpreter, actually. Female, of course. I've got a weakness for accents.

The most useful.. doctor or metereologist

the doctor can take care of my crew during the patrol and is good for the
crew performance

and the meterologist can make weather reports in the boat patrol zone, very useful for the bdu and other boats

I would take whoever they assigned me to; in real life they don't give you a choice.
