...when you get great news like a new job or a grandkid or two, and you think, "I can't wait to share this with the guys on the forum!"

...when you read aloud the jokes in the Joke Thread to people in your house, and they have little doubt whatsoever that your "internet friends" are as bizarre as you are.

They said it isn't for sale but if it were it'd be in the tens of millions.

I didn't figure it would be for sale. I was just wondering if they actually bothered to give you an answer.


What would be cheaper... Buying and fixing one, or building a new one?

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

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

this is the only forum where men are men, women are women, and 14 year old girls don't ever show up

I'm not kidding, I once said to myself that if I ever have $2,000,000 I'll buy the Requin (or another Gato/Balao/Tench) and have it restored to 1945 condition (before Fleet Snorkel upgrade) and get it seaworthy, then hire a crew of subsimmers to man the stations. I know how to navigate with map and compass. I'll use the PT Boat pleasure cruisers as loopholes for moving a decommissioned naval vessel under its own power, which is currently illegal.

Party at 300ft below!

Woo! 444 posts!

When you're taking a soak in the tub and something on the ceiling catches your eye and you shout "Aircraft spotted! Aircraft spotted bearing 304 at short range!"

Actually did that.

When you wake up the entire house by screaming "EMERGENCY DIVE! GIVE ME 25 DEGREES DOWN ON THE BOW & STERN PLANES! SET DEPTH OF 3 5 0 AT 1KT! RIG FOR SILENT RUNNING!"

Actually did that.

When you've added "subsimmer" and "subsim" to your Chrome dictionary

Did that, too

Here's an idea i had many ears ago when I played SH2 and DC online.

Buy some old subs and DC. Invite those who want to and play BASH for real.

When you haven't been on here for 4 days, you come back, see dozens of new threads, comments & events, and think you are an outsider from an ancient world that doesn't exist anymore.
