IMO it is necessary to have detailed windows of the internal of the sub, like Dungerous Waters had, like Sonars, ECM etc etc... why ? Because I have never seen in my whole life a Sub Captain, a crew and whatever you want, managing a sub from the external of her This way sounds arcadish, imo.

I agree BUT this is better than nothing and it would take ALOT more resources to deliver that with any kind of quality.

Someday before I am gone I hope. The real kicker would be VR. I would be in heaven to be able to walk around the conn and bark out orders.

Helm, ALL ahead standard.

Dive make your depth six nine zero feet, smartly!

Man the tracking party.

Technically, saying "All" would be redundant if your boat has one screw. "All" (in the case of the USN) is a hold-over from the old days of the fleet boats which had two screws but its tolerated as a tradition, even if it isn't accurate.

Believe it or not, this was a conversation we had besides trying to figure out what the cooks would be serving on Halfway Night.

Carry on..
