Awww...you make General Tojo sad.

Welcome aboard!

LOL @ Torplexed!

Welcome aboard, Navy guys, and glad you enjoy the game!

Welcome!

I just got started about a month ago. This is definitely more than just a "game." It's a simulator with a great community of people who help us nubs out at every turn.

I'm sure your experience as a QM will be helpful to us all. I was an EM, so unless the griddle stops working, there's not a whole I can pull from my real-life experience.

Welcome aboard SSN-638..I'm also new here and believe this is a great game, and a magnificent site. For the record, in May 1968 my ship DD883, ComDesron20, was called from the med to look for debris when the USS Scorpion SSN-589 was lost. For one week we searched for our lost mates and a debris field. Absolutely nothing was ever found.

Welcome aboard. I desperately wanted to get my dolphins when I was in the Naval Reserve, but listened to other voices (GF). Ah, the choices we make.

SH4 gets even better with the terrific mods available. Check out TMO and Real Fleet Boat. It only gets better, QM.

To clarify why I quoted as such. I have been aboard many commissioned subs after leaving the Navy through the course of my employment. I have met hundreds of bubbleheads, and have come to know them as a special breed of sailor, with a character and steadfastness to duty that surpasses many. I personally know family members from those aboard the USS Thresher when she went down.

To make it simple. I have the highest respect for submariners. I never served on a sub, only worked on them and with many of the former SRO's and RO's for many years. My hats off to the silent service

Welcome aboard, I, too, am a bit of a newb, at least to manual targeting. been playing this game for a grip, and got back into it when i found it in an old box. I find the manual targeting difficult, yet, ultimately more rewarding than point and shoot.
