There was a deactivated mine on the sea front used to collect for the RNLI and there were constant sonic booms from the air combat range over the Wash. I was always afraid the booms were the mine going off.


The game is still available today. And still hideously expensive.

/\ that shines! When not driving my Freightliner in '76,'77 & '78 of the previous century throughout the lower 48 and Canada, I sat out blizzards and inclement weather in arcade-equipped truckstops half a century ago??!!; and became particularly fond of this gem: the 1976 Midway Sea Wolf 0n sale: $4,995.00 I put a lot of quarters into this gizmo and became exceedingly proficient W/0 any TDC. One quote from a U-boat biography I read: A kaleun to his subordinate: "TDC what TDC! Just aim the damn boat!"... is how I play most of the SH games to this day; ie: Get within 1000 yards; zero the 'scope, lead the target, and let fly the 'eel'...and I seldom miss!!? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Wolf_(video_game)
