WELCOME ABOARD!
![]() I record everything in real time with pen and paper, then type up my own log after the patrol is done. Paperwork is part of the job.

Hmmm... Another notch up the realism ratchet, Manual Log Entry.
Wonder where I can find an old Underwood Upright? By way of introduction, I watched "Silent Service" with my Dad on Saturdays and climbed out of bed at 21:00 on Wednesdays for "Navy Log". How did they managge to develop characters and plot within a 1/2hr show? I don't have much experience yet on SH4, but it has revealed a great desire to learn the history involved. I've found a few sights where you can read microfilms of the actual War Patrol Reports of such ships as the Gudgeon, Trigger, and Pampanito (docked across the Bay in SF). The Maritime Museum there has the (restored and working) TDC from Pampanito. It's an honor to be aboard, thank you, gentlemen. |

They didn't. They just told the individual story as quickly and simply as possible. It was that way with a lot of those '50s shows. My favorite is still the one about Archerfish and the sinking of Shinano. No fancy models, no big budget, just Star Trek's Deforrest Kelly as Joe Enright, and Admiral Enright himself at the end. I wish someone would do a similar anthology series about u-boats, and British and maybe even Japanese subs. I'd pay money for it.

I recall s scene either from tv or a movie (seen on tv) where a sub rammed a warship and bent the subs bow. Also a sceene where a sub had to beach to give damage control access to the bow planes for repair. Any recollections? And was there ar was there not a "Silent Running" sub movie (not the sci fi one)?

No, I don't recall any of those scenes. The movie you want is Run Silent, Run Deep, with Burt Lancaster and Clark Gable. It strays a long way from the book, but in-and-of-itself it's a fine flick.
