For SH1V, 'Tora Tora Tora', 'Midway' and 'Pearl Harbor' are there for the taking.
I wouldn't for the life of me want Silent Hunter IV to be associated with Pearl Harbour. "Silent Hunter IV - the great Pacific submarine love story"? No thanks:p.

Before the Pearl Harbor Movie was released in Japan, all the rude references to "Japs" were removed from the film.

There use to be an old road in Houston named "Jap Lane", named after an early resident of the 1920s. Two years ago an angry Asian Group demanded it be changed. It was.

Political Corectness at its best.

Well, I, for one, don't see the point in having a road with an offensive name.

If there was a road called "Nig**r Lane" or "Chnk avenue" they'd change that, too. Same thing.

I don't know, if Kate Beckinsale has as much a thing for submarines as P-40s, I wouldn't mind ALL that much.
But look at how Pearl Harbour is 90% love story and 10% action.

Each game session would have you be out at sea for ten minutes and in the bar or a hotel room for 50 minutes.

I think this was a case of the road being named after a guy. Henry Jap or something.

If that was the case, I'd have been very opposed to the change.
