[WIP] Historically Accurate Missions/Patrols

MadMike · 04-04-07, 10:15 PM

I haven't been able to locate any S-boat war patrols on the net, but we do have some resources available.
The first is "War in the Boats" by Ruhe. The second is "Pigboat 39" by Gugliotta. George Oliver Jones was an S-boat sailor and has some great stories about his time on S-37 and S-45.
And of course there are several historical websites on S-boats available ("Through the Looking Glass" site, "S-boats, Gallant Ladies of the Past", etc). Also, many S-boat histories are now listed on Wikipedia.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Yours, Mike

You can find a fairly detailed description of the S-38's patrol when she entered the Lingayen Gulf to attack a Japanese Invasion Force that had landed there during the Japanese Invasion of Luzon in Clay Blair's "Silent Victory".

Maybe a strange question but how do you play custom missions ?
