Global navigation

Don't know if anyone has tried this but has a global circumnavigation been carried out by anyone yet? Crazy idea but I don't know if it can be done.

There was a thread in the SH4 forums sometime back, where someone sailed their Gato class sub to European waters and poked it into a German sub pen to see how the other half lives. I believe the band and nurses were still there too. There's no reason circumnavigation couldn't be done. Especially if you click the unlimited fuel option.

Might have been me...

The band and nurses were not there, but the music/clapping was.

I say go for the circumnavigation and post the experience here

Now if someone manages to do this using RealNavMod then that would be quite a feat, othwerwise its just a test of patience and ramping the time compression to max, wheres the challenge in that?!?

Well, so far so good. Am just south of Hawaii above the equator, headed for the Panama canal. Refueled in Surabaya and Rabaul but I think that will be the last drop of fuel I'll see in a while.

If you ask nicely do you think the allies will let you through the canal?
