First post- saying hello and such

Ahoy there- I liked the info I saw here and thought it'd be a great place to get more of my virtual sealegs as it were! I'd been into flight simming for years but SH4 was like a mermaid that has drawn me to unknown waters. I felt I got something out of the SH4 review here that gave me info as to how close to history or not it was, and some of the posts seem to be a nice supplement to the UBI forum, and so here I am.

I also recognize gentlemen from other boards I am acquainted with, and hope to grow and learn in this aspect of warfare that is a departure from that which I am accustomed.

A wee bit of background of myself: I was never in any of the services, but from enthusiasm about history have an appreciation of those who are/have. My father (b.1928-d.1973) was a merchant seaman for the US out of NYC, but I have only begun research into his career so cannot yet post anything about stories he told me as a tadpole until corroborated (tho I look forward to it when I do).

Anyway, just a quick introductory post, and tho I be lurking, I be trying to learn all I can.
