...when one of your new coworkers used to be in the Navy and the first thing you think to ask them is "were you ever on a submarine?"

My niece was dating a retired submariner. He was on the Miami. As soon as I head that I demanded her to marry him. That's how addicted I am.

When you see the ship and immediately start to think about the right strategy for the attack, the angle of the bow, the distance, the depth of the torpedo, contact or magnetic detonator ....... Torpedo los!

I can't seem to help myself, as soon as I see a ship, I'm working out how I would go about sinking it

It looks like many are confusing "addicted to Subsim" with "addicted to Silent Hunter".

You know you're addicted to Subsim when you find yourself spending so much time on the forums that you never play the game anymore.

You know you're addicted to Subsim when you find yourself still posting at 2:00 in the A.M.

to tell you guys the truth, the last time i played a submarine simulation was around 1 month ago

You wake up in the middle of the night during a rain storm and think you are taking on water and shout "emergency surface!"
