We don't have many female members here, don't taunt them with sexual references. You can kid around about shoes, submarines, whatever, but try to remember, act like a gentleman.

FWIW, I took it all in fun. Can't speak for any other ladies in da house of course.

private apology sent... but just in case.



I meant absolutely no harm by my comments.

my post was simply in reference to the fact that you are obviously a lady... and Mr. Faust character is clearly not a gentleman.

My most sincere and humble apoligies if i caused you any insult.

Better than that, all major controls are in the...Control Room! The captain conducts all operations from there. Torpedoes are fired from there. Steering and diving controls are there. The engines are run from the engine room, but that's what the Engine Telegraphs are for. The only time the captain ever needs to leave the Control Room when in combat is if they are surfaced. Then he's on the bridge, and has some duplicate controls there and voice tubes to the Control Room for any communication needs. The control room also has voice tubes to every other compartment so they can report problems and he can ask questions. Every department also has 'runners' to relay messages to the captain. In the book Das Boot they translated the name for these as 'Johnnies'. Don't know if that's an adequate translation, but in fact every ship - even a u-boat - has sufficient personel that some can be detailed as messengers in critical situations.

Bottom line - everything that the captain needs to do can be done from the bridge/control room. Visiting any other compartment is purely fluff candy.

True, what I should have said is clicking on a person and selecting from a list of orders will get old real quick, instead of just clicking a keystroke. Assuming again this is how orders will be issued.
