Everyone talks about the Gato class, but what about the Balao class?

How about a more superficial reason to go for using a Balao...

Because it was the sub(model) used in a movie I proudly own on DVD... 'Run Silent, Run Deep' with Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster!

Speaking for myself, I will actually start a campaign with whatever sub they requisition you to start out with in SHIV(S-Class?) and work my way up to bigger and better things, just like I always did in SH3. Well, sort of anyway. I would start out in the Type IIA in SH3 and go for 2 patrols in it, then I would edit my renown so that I had enough to get a Type VIIB and the crew for it.

Cheers
