Default SS Wahoo war partrol reports

Likely it's been posted, but ran across the SS Wahoo web page on the MacKinnon website
I started reading the Wahoo's war patrols and spent a couple of hours reading the unedited words of Cdr Mush Morton as he described his daily job, encounted Japanese vessels and watched his torpedoes go walkabout.

Using Google Earth's search function was helpful in "following" Morton's missions and the effort should help "immersion" when playing SH4. The prose is certainly simpler than O'Kane's or Beach's WWII submarine books, but that direct simplicity really struck home.

It is a VERY nice database of the USS Wahoo. Also, speaking of google earth, have you noticed how many U-boat shipwrecks there are littering the seafloor of the Atlantic?? A significant difference between US subs like Wahoo and the deathtrap U-boats. You should definitely check it out VERY fascinating.
