I dont think i would take the Scorpion as well i am a ex submariner and a British one at that and even after all this time etc etc it's still well known thru the sub community

I'll take either a "P" or a Salmon class boat, but if the TDC is found onboard the S class on the Phillipines, i'll take one of those S boats.

USS Tambor

S-boats shouldn't have a TDC; everything I've read says they didn't have one in real life.

Now that I've read about the number of early fleet boats (Pearch, Salmon) in Cavite versus the tiny number of S-boats, I might reconsider and take a Salmon instead.

You guys are forgetting the Plunger! First US submarine to be depth charged. (It's the Plunger pt. 1)

I had quite an amusing vision in my head then...

"MAN THAT BLOODY AA GUN!!!!!!"

But me... I'll be back to the good ole 'S' class... I took one through the whole pacific campaign in Silent Hunter I...

If this type IX fixation I've got continues I may even opt for Narwhal or Nautilus...

Too bad for you that neither USS Nautilus nor USS Narwhal are modeled in SH4.:p
