Subs have to start somewhere

The whole world map is included in SH4 ... Electric Boat is in New London, Conn
and just on the other side of the river Thames, is the submarine base in Groton, Conn,
but it is called New London Naval Submarine Base.

Here's some basic information to help orientate you to the original home base for your new fleet boat ...

We may even be able to take off from here someday.

On the east bank of the Thames River near Groton, CT, New London Naval Submarine Base was the birthplace of the submarine force. It was originally a Navy yard, converted to a submarine base in 1916, and greatly expanded in World War II.

Today the Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE NLON) is located on the east side of Thames River in Groton CT. All submariners in today's Navy will be stationed here for training and perhaps a tour onboard a fast attack submarine or with a pre-commissioning crew while their new submarine is under construction.

The question is: will we be able to take command of a sub built on the east coast and transfer it to the Pacific? They've modeled NY so I hope I can take my sub from Groton to Pearl.

I'll meet up w/ you in Pearl if that's OK Capt'n as I prefer to leave the sightseeing to the tourists.

Hey, any 1x enthusiasts going to go this route if it's available?

And no shortcuts, you have to take the route around Cape Horn.

I don't have to go that far. I have the secret maps for the Northwest Passage.

A fleet boat's too big for a freight train, right?
