Default What will be your first command?

So have you given any thought to when you want to start a career or what your first boat will be?

I have an urge to begin my first career in an "S" Boat operating out of the Philippines in Dec 1941. Lingayen Gulf is calling!

"S" boats hold no appeal for me - old, slow, low number of tubes, no fun toys.

Nahhh.

I'll take a Gato and start when the campaign was heating up.

I'm afraid I'll just pick whatever is default. I knew a lot more and was more interested in the Atlantic war than the Pacific to be honest.

I was kind of hoping for my old Balao class USS Segundo (SS398), maybe I could even find my old rack and catch a few winks............

Where in the **** have you been?! Welcome back!

Oh, I`ll take whatever boat I can get, dont know much about US subs or the Pacific campaign, so this will be history lessons and fun all in one.

I guess I'll start right after Pearl Harbor with a S-class. But before I go on patrol I will get rid of that renown system.

My first 'command' will be: "All ahead slow"

My second command will be: "Somebody get me a sandwich and some coffee, we got a long patrol ahead of us."

As for choice of command, I'd take a S-Class....for training purposes.
