Has there been any actual WWII submariners who have played this game? Did they have any comments?

I know Admiral Fluckey died last year, but also wondering if any fleet boat commanders have seen SHIV and had any comment.

I was telling a fellow the other day something I believe, if (a long stretch here) something like SHIV had been available in the late 30's, that it would have been required training for a fleet boat commander.

Even with it's shortcomings (i.e., no maintenance casualties, very simplified navigation, no random events, etc.), I think the game is great, and about as close to a training/simulator you are going to find. Generally, just wondering if any WWII submariners would share such an opinion.
