That makes me feel quite guilty, to think on my last patrol we sat in the messdeck watching DVD's, playing cards or laying in our comfy bunks reading books.

Im pretty sure german submariners had similar things to help pass the time.

That is 72,22222222% (the 2's go on forever). But that is over the years. I can remember the year, but when the Allies ASW was at it's peak, 9 out of 10 submariners didn't survive.
