Can you source that?

I played Epyx Sub Battle Simulator, and I don't remember that.

Sorry for my late reply, but I had difficulties getting subsim pages yesterday.

I've dived into my archives and found a copy of the mentioned game.
I stand corrected.

There is indeed a kind of Morse used, but only when you send out your current position to HQ.

However the mission commands are just a simple page (pressing <alt>+m key).

I apologize for the confusion.

Well...It depends of the start date of the campaign.

In a campaign starting April 1942, Pearl Harbour, I have Fred Warder as leading as, with 14.300 tons.

Regards.

Side note: Fred Warder rose to the rank of rear admiral and lived to be 95 years old, dying in 2000: http://articles.latimes.com/2000/feb/04/news/mn-61070

Fitzcarraldo has a point. Starting at the beginning of a career nobody is on the board. Starting after the beginning Fred Warder and others are listed.

...but I can start my career in 1942, 43, or 44...

Fitzcarraldo

That is the answer I was looking for. Once Commander's begin to appear on the board, Warder is on
top.

Next trivia question within the next 12 hours
