Why do you play Silent Hunter?

The interest in subs for me started when I was a young boy. I built a submarine model of U-505, and watched a lot of a TV series called "The Silent Service" which was about U.S. Subs during WWII.
When the Vietnam War was going on, I joined the U.S. Navy and volunteered for Submarine duty. I went To Key West, Florida for torpedoman school, then New London Conn. for submarine school. I was assigned to the USS Segundo SS-398 out of San Diego from '68 to '70.
Years later I played a couple of early video games for consoles, but was basically computer illiterate. When I retired from by job 2 1/2 years ago I got my first computer. My son bought me my first PC game, SH3.
It brought back my love of submarines and video games, and helps me relive those days at sea.....and all the old memories...................."DBF"..........
