Default How a World War Two Submarine Works

"A thorough examination of a WWII submarine. Our creation is a generalized model taken from Gato and Balao class boats."



This is a great animated video showing in general the inner workings of an American submarine. This was produced by two hep cats named O'Neal; they must be a relation to someone here!

Jacob O'Neal - Modeling, animation, texturing, vfx, music, narrative script
Wesley O'Neal - Research, technical script

It is a very interesting representation of the submarine especially the way it gives you an almost visceral understanding for where everything is located and how all the systems are interconnected. It made me appreciate more than ever before how these magnificent submarines were engineered.

Thanks for the advice Aktungbby ( you're not that dumb after all )

Default half sank, half didn't

this is a screen shot of a IJN DD/DE that was split in half by my crew.
the after half sank while the forward half sailed on.
we had other fish to fry, so to speak, and i never went back to see if this piece ultimately sank.

Default got pummeled

this was during a Late-May 1943 patrol NE of New Ireland.
we stayed at PD too long...acting like a bold submariner instead of an old submariner.

...and we were pummeled. you need to look closely in the middle photo to see the DC descending. that is the one you see exploding in the third photo.

Default FoTrS v1.8F... USS Grayback (SS-208) The delivery...Opex

Hello friends
I must say that I am delighted between the targets lying around here and there...The aviation which is stalking me...I have just delivered our spy to safety..
Sorry some photos are dark because the weather is extremely overcast and stormy



After remaining motionless at the bottom... observing the coast for several hours in order to observe the aerial and maritime activity...


Note here the magnificent work of the talented Jimi Madrid, the specialist in magnificent dials...




The spy has arrived safely...


After this delivery accomplished by leaving...under the fire of a particularly dangerous group of hunters...




Thank"s Team FoTrS for the work..
