Kewl, I'll put that one on ASAP. Nice crop job! Guess we'll have two choices for the Gato, too. Choices are a good thing

Thanks sir, Merry Christmas!

Was thinking of doing the USS Sea Tiger ala Operation Petticoat (RL SS285 USS Balao)

Captain Cox did a great pink skin, I'll see what I can hunt down for an emblem.

That was an interesting story, sqk. It's good to learn things like this about folks we "know of", but don't really know. Thanks for sharing

I love the idea of an "Operation Petticoat" boat. Maybe, one of our video gurus could make a short video reenactment of the movie using game footage. I'd love to give something like that a try, but I really need a more powerful computer .

Got a few more boats done, too:

• [602Sqn_Puff] SS177 USS Pickerel Porpoise class
• [Angus89] SS279 USS Snook Gato Class
• [Holy Man] SS186 USS Stingray Salmon Class

Holy Man, if you started an early war campaign with the Stingray, you should get a little surprise when you get a conning tower refit (if things work out the way I expect them to).

Unless some snuck up on me when I wasn't looking this is the last of the requested boats, now available:

• [SteveW1] USS S-18 (SS123) S Class [S-18]
• [tba] SS198 USS Tambor Tambor Class
• [tba] SS212 USS Gato Gato Class

Great job DT!

Here's more on the 'Operation Petticoat story. Aparently the movie was more fact than one might figure:

Another case of art imitating life. Nice piece of trivia. OK, so I learned something new today, does that mean I can stop thinking until tomorrow?

Excellent. I'll start mine in just a minute!

Two more new Sargo class boats available:

• SS188 USS Sargo
• SS192 USS Sailfish (was the Squalus before she made history by sinking and becoming the first submarine to have crew rescued from her)

Wow...the list has grown quite a bit! Impressive work, lads! One question though: do you hire someone to whip you guys into working, or are you practicing self-flagellation? :rotfl: Keep them coming, keep them coming...oh, and in case I won't be able to come to an internet cafe in the following days, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

ETA: Since you seem to be caught in a working frenzy, could you make a commisioning plaque for the USS Seahorse? And I'll buy you plenty of ouzo if you ever happen to come to Greece!

I don't know about the rest of the guys, but having been married to the same woman for almost 31 years now, I don't need whippin', (to copy the advertising cliche) I "just do it" Happy Hangover Day to you, too, if we don't see ya aforehand.

I gave the commissioning plaque a whack, but the font that I have that's supposed to be the same as what's on the plaque must be different because it gets all screwey when I try to create it . I'll have to see what swk7744 can tell me about that one.

Thanks DT, we'll whip-up a bunch this w/e for original comissioned boat skippers.

PS. I'll zap you the font via ftp.

Digital_Trucker and sqk7744: Thanx a bunch, guys! Had a chance to come to an internet cafe again today , thanks to old classmates who arranged an outing to the nearest tavern! Our stomachs will suffer today! :rotfl:
Now, if I don't sound too selfish, I think I was the first one to stumble upon the Seahorse, but I noticed that the first battle flag for that boat was given to another forum member. But whoever gets the commisioning plaque in his name is fine by me, vanity is not a good trait Happy New Year once again!

Hi DrBeast,

After 2 days of marathon cropping sessions doing emblems and DT doing Kill Flag skins and Battle Flags, playing catch-up on all the new boat requests ( I'm to blame for getting 1 month behind on my duties ) we are now focusing on the comissioning plaques. Stay tuned, I'll have yours w/in the quarter hour.

Cheers,

[sqk7744]

Enjoy!
