Some time on the treadmill anyone?

you have a point about the facial hair. ideally, they would leave port clean shaven and gradually grow beards. You would also see much more casual clothing as the patrol went on. I have seen many photos of crewmen wearing just shorts or only t-shirts as top, but those are minor points.

There's an officer in service dress blues in one of the menu screens with a full beard as well. No beards in the war years.

I think (someone will correct me) that dungarees and a white T-shirt was an approved enlisted working uniform. Since it carried no rating insignia you couldn't go to the pier in it, but it was good onboard in the tropics.

On patrol it was OK to cease shaving and go to more comfortable uniforms, although many officers stayed in khakis. I think a lot of forward watchstanders wore woven flip-flops as well. On my SSBN we were allowed to grow beards on patrol, wear "patrol shoes" (I wore Topsiders with my poopy suit), and "patrol hats", usually baseball caps.

The modelled sailors look much better than the SH3 sailors with the just chiselled look.

Overall I agree, but the officers need insignia. Right now they look like a painting crew.

Too much to ask for at this point I know, but in future . . .

Now, I dunno what you consider Appalachia, but where I'm originally from (south East Ohio, just on the other side of the river from West Virginia) is considered Appalachia.

You need a voice for a mod, lemme know.

Overall discipline on Subs, as far as adhering to regulations, was far less than say a Battleship sailor had to endure.what you wore,or didn't wear was not a cause for any discipline.However your performance at your job was highly scrutinized,and any foul ups would quickly be dealt with.Any young Ensigns that thought they needed to run a tight reign,were usually taken aside,and given a pep talk by the more senior officers.

That area would work, although I was thinking more western NC or far western VA (Wise County.)

I don't do mods unfortunately, but I'd bet that collectively we have most US accents represented here. I can do a Tidewater, a Piedmont, a Minnesota (south), and a little Hawaiian pidgin.

I know of a great Fargo accent (almost Canadian), but unfortunatley she wouldn't fit in too well in Control. <g>

These guys look out of shape?

I like the variety of body shapes. Far more realistic than the Hollywood approach of letting everything be crewed by super models.
