What age would you want to serve?

For me, it would be WW1.

As i said, i think it would be a pioneer like adventure compared to todays subs.

Then again, i am too tall for our subs and my job is anti surface / anti air plus electronic warfare.

Hey AriesRCN, nice to know you're watching over the rest of us Canucks.

Welcome to SUBSIM.

Despite my enjoyment of reading, and to a lesser extent playing via pc, naval-themed things, ol' D_C here doesn't "do," water well.

Hence my joining the Army and now being in the Air Force Reserve.

What age? That would depend on which side.

I don't think wwii duty in a Uboat would be all that swell

WW2 duty in a Gato or a Balao wouldn't be too bad. I'd like to do that. U-boats? Not so much. American boats seem easier on the crew. Except for S-Boats. Forget that. That is as bad as a U-boat.

What? No S-boats in the Aleutians for you?
