It should be... but it isn't. A 688 on the surface has a keel depth of about 26 - 30 feet, depending on how much water it has in the variable ballast tanks. In game, it shows something like 6 feet. Definitely not keel depth.

CSS 17 - makes you a Bangor SSBN boy, especially paired with the WLR-8. Served on a few boats out that way, specifically the MICHIGAN (SSBN days, pre-conversion) and the ALABAMA. Nice enough area, but glad I'm done with it... I'm on terminal leave ATM, so it's all still fresh enough to be painful.
Of course, with you being a striker, that likely means you are about to be out or have been out a while yourself - haven't had those in the SS fleet in 15 years or so, as I recall. EDIT: Just saw your signature. One of those KENTUCKY bastards. I spent more time fixing that boat when I was working for IMF... not as much as on the HMJ, of course, but a lot. |
