Default Pipe Smoking Wallpaper

Hi guys !
As a young pipe smoker (17 ), I asked myself if U-Boot's crew smoked onboard...
After a long research on Google, I finally ended on this site: http://centroeu.com/uboote/pictures.html (I'm sure you're a lot to know it )
I found 5 photos with crew smoking pipe ! So I took my Panasonic and did some photos of my wooden desk... And here's the result !



Now here are the links !

1024 x 768 Version: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=U23MCRZ7
1280 x 1024 Version: http://www.megaupload.com/fr/?d=WWA94NP3

I'm sure smokers like me will be delighted !
Don't hesitate to post any comments !

Thank you in advance and pardon my English, I'm from the French speaking part of Switzerland...

See U-Boat !

Weren't they smoking in Das Boot? Everyone smoked back then. Probably not the best idea when submerged though.

Depends on the ventilation I suppose. I believe current USN policy leaves the issue at the CO's discretion.

I like it, has a good historical feel to it and I like the photos you've chosen. I'd probably like it more if I was as enthusiastic a smoker as yourself, or a smoker at all even.

It's amazing how smoking is getting banned everywhere ! Ahhh how I love watching old 40's and 50's films when everybody smoked...
Cancer is lethal but I think we should let the choice to the ones who want to take their responsibilities...
