I serve on a German frigate F 208 Niedersachsen. Our main job is to hunt subs. So does that count?

Wow, I had no idea so many brave men were out there in subsim land. Gentlemen, I salute you.

The closest I ever came to a sub, came out of a freakin' cereal box! How brave am I?

Riesenpütz?

(keeping it in english so everybody understands)

I served on a Minesweeper - FGS Frauenlob, 7.MSG, Neustadt, Holstein - yes, the very Neustadt from SH3-training. Crew of 24 - Maybe one reason why I still prefer submarines like the Typ II for SH3 :p

What did you do on the Niedersachsen? 11er? I was the radar-guy, tactical navigation. 23er - MOS Bremerhaven.

USS Stonewall Jackson SSBN634 (Gold) ("Stoney J"). Pork Chop, six patrols and a DASO out of Charleston and Kings Bay.

Dad was USS Bluegill SS-242 during her Guppy years. I recall straddling a Mk14 in the forward room at Christmas, 1962 while a greasy TM in a Santa suit handed out presents to the kids.

I served on the USS Phoenix (SSN-702) from 1981 - 1984. Was part of the commissioning crew (plankowner) and was homeported in Norfolk, VA. Qualified in submarines in 1983 during our "Around the World" deployment to the Indian Ocean. Stood watches as Officer of the Deck and Engineering Officer of the Watch.
