Starting a Submarine Novel from you guys...

well in a couple threads on these forums i've seen bitching and moaning about some of these submarine books and how un-realistic they are and this shouldnt happen and that should have happened so i have come up with the idea of trying to get together enough info from all of you to get a novel started (and hopefully finished) and see what we get.

So here is where i am at right now...i'v been pondering all day on a good basic story line...now i would really like to get a totally ORIGINAL story line but it seems that just about anything i can come up with has been used somehow or another in another book so what i have come up with so far is The Basic:"Worldwide meeting at the UN in NY to discuss a Cease Fire of the War in Iraq(basically fill the place up with influential world leaders)" now i have not quite figured out the how but i'm thinking something like a Cruise missle takes out the whole place or something along those lines. now thats a pretty basic story line so i'm trying to get a little more in-depth with it and am probably going to add some more situations at different locations around the world. now this as of right now is the story line i'm going to run with so please reply quickly with some info and possible guidance on idea's of how this thing should go.

On a side note...at the moment i need some ordinary ranks of these MOS's. Cook, Sonar Operator, Engineer(like reactor egineer and anything else you guys can come up with), and Weapons Officer.
