60 Second Dive Time

By the end of the war they had trimmed this time to about 30 seconds. What they needed to do was cut back the conning tower fairing (sp?) and add a whole s**t-load more of free-flood holes in the superstructure.

Don't despair though. With SD/SG/SJ radar we should have ample warning to get under. Well--actually we'll be starting with SD radar (air detection) which had a pattern like a 4 leaf clover with blind spots inside the leaves. So make sure you pack extra carrots for your lookouts

Cheers!!!
