Default The "Seaview"



I've never seen Seaquest DSV (has it even been on TV in the UK?) so it has to be the Seaview for me. We grew up with this series anyway, and loved it with a passion.

Couldn't the modders create a "Seaview" for us for SH3? Maybe while they're at it they could give us a few sea-monsters as well, so we've got something to chase...

Wasn't a Seaview done or started for SH4 at one time?
As for flying subs?
MrFleck did that already.

Not entirely! Down Periscope began shooting on May 6, 1995 and finished on July 27; The USS Pampanito, a Balao-classsubmarine from World War II, now a museum ship and memorial in San Francisco, played the part of the USS Stingray. That sadly neglected vessel is one of my favorite tourist attractions. The WWII Salmon class USS Stingray http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Stingray_(SS-186)> Stingray (SS-186) received twelve battle stars for World War II service. She holds the record for most war patrols—16—of any American submarine. She sank two cargo vessles-Tamon Maru, Ikushima Maru, transport Harbin Maru and a converted gun boat, Saikyo Maru. and performed every other type of mission a submarine can. She was scrapped in 1946. USS Pampanito> with the D-Day verteran Liberty USS Jeremiah O'Brien just astern and still operational!

At the end of Up Periscope when the crew was exiting the sub, you could tell by the hood over the stairwell that they were egressing from a museum boat.
