A Brief Introduction to the Pacific Submarine War

loftyheights · 03-12-08, 06:29 PM

Hello there, I'm new to SH but find it totally phenom. I like to think I'm fairly knowledgable about WW2 but never realise how much the US sub fleet endoured. You guys know your ****. I knew all about the atlantic war and the major battles in the pacific (midway, guadal canal etc.) but playing SH4 and reading your posts has made me research and it was pretty awful for the sub crews of the US fleet out there.

As I said Im knew to the game, does anyone have 1 particular tip that might help me progress?

Cheers Lofty!

there we go, the name of that boat has eluded me since i read this post.

the USS Puffer was the submarine that was under for 37 some odd hours.
the men did have to suffer through 125 degree heat, and, when entering a compartment a meager 100 degrees they suffered horrible cases of the shivers, many of them thought they were suffering seziures!
