Expanded the Boats section and added a Torps section. May be getting off track with this being more a compilation of historical info from the internet covering submarines and torpedoes.

I like it so far. The torpedoes section is nice. You're putting a lot of work into this, and it shows.

Thanks, guys. I figure featuring subs without torpedoes is kinda like talking about firearms without bullets. For a weapon system of it's time, they're integral. I'm also learning a great deal doing this. I find myself doing a quick study during the compilation and a review afterwards. Nothing near what members like Davey and RR and many here already know (and have discussed). I just thought to myself, "Self, this stuff could use a centralized location/home." And the more I hafta search to put it together, the more that just seems to justify that.

I'm actually looking forward to hearing things like "Your stats on such and such are slightly off, here's a more accurate source" or "I have a story about the such and such for you to incorporate, if you want."

The wife mentions, "Well, you don't play your game much, spending all your time working on a website about it." My response, "It doesn't really seem to be just about the game anymore."

And that's how we learn. Whether it's historical research or modding or music, we learn far more from doing it than we can ever pick up in a classroom. I tried to take a music history class once, and failed miserably. Now the classical composers are among my favorite subjects.
