Default I am about ready

I am about ready to request a boat be commissioned. The battle flags idea is new to me.

Here are few basic questions re the battleflag/emblem:

May I request an emblem be created? I do not know if this is possible? If so, I would like to submit an attachment with my proposed emblem, which is a scanned Xmas card of a woman on skis. I was thinking the skis could be converted into torpedoes, with an American Flag on the front off the sweater. I do not know if the is possible? If it is, to whom do I send the attachment, so they can work from it? Below the emblem, I want the ships name, USS Barbarinna. I will submit the information for battle flag as directed.

I read through several pages of posts to try to figure this out, but gave up because there are so many.

Yep, that's all possible. If you could, just upload the pic you want to use to Photobucket or Imageshack and send a link to the picture in with the commission request. Or, if you got the picture from someplace on the internet, just send a link to where you got it and we'll take it from there. Make sure and tell us what type of sub (Gato, Balao, etc) you're going to be using it on.

Default questions

I just filed a report for the USS Drum about a day ago and want to know how long does it take for the thing to get through processing?

(I know it's the holidays so I'm not in a hurry or anything.)

Also, I know that small ships are the fishing boats and such, but what about slightly bigger ones, such as trawlers, or even smaller freighters?

On a related note: does an armed trawler count as a warship?

To be honest (and totally sarcastic) it takes about as long as it takes me to do it. Seriously, it depends on the volume and how much real life interferes (which basically means that, as long as the Falcons are playing football, don't count on too much getting done on Sunday:rotfl. Now, really seriously, I try to shoot for no longer than a 2 day turnaround but sometimes, when everyone plays a lot at the same time, it might make it to 3 days.

Well, this gets a little fuzzy. In my opinion, a trawler would be a small merchant along with sampans and fishing boats. Some will say that anything below a certain tonnage is a small merchant, but we could probably find several people who could argue for weeks over what that tonnage number would be, so I leave it up to the user. You can define a small merchant however you would like to. After all, I'm not going to demand that you send in your game save files to verify your kills

As far as the armed trawler, I wouldn't count it as a warship. Again, in my opinion, the only warships are those vessels whose sole purpose is the pursuit of blowing things up (whether they were built for that purpose or converted to it).

Ok then, thanks for the answers.

I'm right in the middle of a pretty successful patrol, I'm just not sure how on earth I'm going to get back to Pearl, or even Midway for that matter. Hope I'll be able to file this patrol.

Oh, one more thing: how should I post later reports? Should I report one patrol, or the entire carreer every time?

In my first patrol I was already 3 missions into the campaign, so just want to clarify this.

Always report totals. When you get a new boat, keep reporting totals for the tonnage and the medals, but start over on the sunken vessels. In other words, the stuff on the top part of the flag (above the medals) is for the boat and from the medals down is for the captain. Also, please don't send a second update in until you've received the last one you sent in.

Default why I have been waiting

I have been looking for a drawing of a cowgirl with long hair, wearing a cowboy hat, short skirts and cowboy boots, riding a torpedo. Her position on the torpedo should be knees up and leaning forward holding the torpedo like a jockey on a racehorse. Can I send a pic of a jockey that can be converted into a drawing? Any suggestions or pics that present this image are welcome cause I have not found any drawings yet.
