Poll Subsim Meet Destination 2010

[Onkel Neal]

To all members of Subsim across the globe:

We are gearing up for the next great Subsim meeting. This is a fantastic event and you don't want to miss it. Our previous Subsim meets have been very successful and this one will top them all.



Here is the official meeting poll. If you think you will attend the meet, vote here. This is to gauge the level of interest in a meeting this Sept and the destination. Note: the final destination will be one of these three candidates, not necessarily the one that gets the most votes, though. We will be giving extra consideration to the members who have attended past meetings and who plan to attend this one.

Q1. The 2010 Meet will be held in the US in Sept. Do you plan to attend and if yes, how certain are you that you will make it? Post you answer in this thread, then vote for the destination. If you do not think you will come, please don't vote



Q2. If you plan to attend, which destination do you prefer?

New London, Conn.: US Navy base, USS Nautilus (first nuclear sub), Sonalysts tour (Sub Command, Dangerous Waters), USS Constitution and historic Boston road trip (3 hours both ways) with a stop at the world's largest naval museum, Battleship Cove: USS Lionfish, a Balao Class submarine, USS Massachusetts, a South Dakota class Battleship, USS Joseph P. Kennedy a Gearing class Destroyer, National PT BoatMuseum (including two WW2 era PT Boats); possible road trip to USS Growler sub in New York City (4.5 hours both ways).

San Diego, CA: Star of India, HMS Surprise, B-39 Russian Submarine, USS Dolphin sub (AGSS 555), US Navy base

Chicago, Ill.: U-505 U-boat, road trip to USS Cobia sub in Manitowoc, Wisconsin (6 hour both ways)


Thanks!
Neal

I was unable to attend the full programme because of business committments, but was determined to experience the UC3 Nautilus. Ok why a bit special ? Basically, all of you guys. I felt thoroughly welcome despite the fact that I joined the trip at a later stage and didn't really know most of you from the SH forums.
