"USS Dorado (SS-248) disappeared with all hands during a transit between New London and Panama, and her fate remains unknown to this day. There is some evidence that she was either depth-charged by one of our own aircraft or torpedoed by a German U-boat that had been operating in the same vicinity near Cuba".

i did some patrols in the caribbean sea with my IX-B be careful , these waters are infected with pirates .

Yeah, but the crew called themselves "Barbarians" and by the look of that battle flag they lived up to it

In this day and age I'd rather serve on a USS Barb than a USS Hoe.

Guys on the USS Flasher probably had a self-image problem too.

What a name for a sub. To be named after the mythical creature that was controled by Davy Jones Himself. A monster of the deep that would come up and destroy a ship without warning. A fitting name for a Sub.

You can't fool me; that grin is always there. It happens when your brains leak out from too much hard work and not enough play time.:rotfl:

Comment two: I know what boat I want - USS Sea Dog (SS-401)! What a name

Actually, any of the "Seas" will do:
SS 399 USS Sea Cat
SS 400 USS Sea Devil
SS 401 USS Sea Dog
SS 402 USS Sea Fox
SS 405 USS Sea Owl
SS 406 USS Sea Poacher
SS 407 USS Sea Robin
SS 304 USS Seahorse
SS 315 USS Sealion

Are you aware of the British 'Insect' class gunboats? They had one called HMS Cockchafer.
