Closest was probably the old game 'Iron Wolves'

Not that I know of, but one company is bringing back old games:http://www.fastcompany.com/3053050/a...-from-the-dead

How one company is bringing old video games back from the dead ...
Night Dive studios got started on a whim, but in less than three years,
it's given dozens of games a second life.
Maybe they could bring back the original Silent Hunter and put in a couple of cruise ships as old troop ships, uh?

Whoa! Thanks all for your replies! I actually own a game where you can control surface ships and avoid torpedoes. It's called Battlestations: Midway and the other one is Battlestations: Pacific. Although I prefer Midway, Pacific is newer and allows multiplayer with co-op mode

Also, I play Virtual Sailor quite often. Which goes for $30, and boy is THAT worth the price! It has EVERYTHING at sea! Including 3rd party addon support.

So basically, you can make your own ships for it! If you know 3D modeling of course... I use 3ds Max and Maya for that I purchased the Cunard Liner RMS Queen Mary as a addon for $15, totally worth it! Here's a screenshot of her in VS!

I never heard of this sim... is it available on disc or download only? Great screenshot btw, and can you get the RMS Queen Elizabeth I?

I mentioned the "Battlestations" games in my earlier post but I've not yet got into playing these, so your comments are interesting. I can't imagine anything would top these for realistic graphics.

Hi! Yes, it's available as download only, just search for Virtual Sailor. Vehicle Simulator is being developed by the same man, Ilan Papini. www.hangsim.com each simulator costs $30. Each purchase gives two years of free updates so, $30 a year, not too bad is it?

Oh, and about Queen Elizabeth, I'm sure you can. I don't know if anybody has modeled her, though...

"QE1" was always my favourite ocean liner looks-wise, and my most fondly remembered Airfix model, built when I was about 12 years old (this isn't my model).
