Default Gimme my luxury yacht!

Sorry but I had to post this here too...

I just cant wait for my luxury yacht! Er, I mean Gato boat! I have been reading the Fleet Type Submarine manual (url: http://www.maritime.org/fleetsub/ ) and from what I have gathered the US Navy is where its at as far as a submariner is concerned! All this time I have been spending in the Kreigsmarine sweating below decks while in the US Navy I could have just turned on the air conditioning! Check it out: http://www.maritime.org/fleetsub/app...es/figa-11.htm They even had central air distrubution just like a modern house: http://www.maritime.org/fleetsub/ref...t/fig18-01.htm

And to really rub it in they also have a refrigerator and an ice cream machine: http://maritime.org/fleetsub/refrig/chap7.htm#fig7-23

And for all you Kaleuns out there the Captian of a US sub not only has his own bunk, but also a cabin with a door. No flimsy curtains there!

Man oh man, if the average ubootman knew about this there would have been mass mutiny for sure! :rotfl:

I know, I can't wait for this in SHIV... Btw, shouldn't this be in the SHIV forum?

Not to mention the laundromat.

Yeah, some folks criticize them for being big and unwieldly, which makes it more dangerous; some folks say the American submarine war was too easy. I say I love 'em all, and I want to see the Gato, and the old 'S' boats, and the giants like Argonaut and Narwhal with their 6" guns. I just want to operate out of Cavite and Fremantle again.
