I don't recall ever hearing of it.

Which doesn't mean much.

i think i remember a great white shark mod and also i think there was a dead sailor mod that added screams, flying bodies, and floating bodies to debris but they were for older versions of the game v1.1 or v1.2 i think

i dont ever recall a great white death mod

May be this one?: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=144205

Hitman's link appears correct. I had the mod for awhile. No music or sounds. I never saw a Great White while on patrol.

Facts. The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), also known as great white, white pointer, white shark, or white death, is a large shark found in coastal surface waters in all major oceans. It is also known as "Maneater." (That is my favorite description.) It was featured in the 1971 documentary movie Blue Water, White Death", which includes an underwater scene at night of huge sharks feeding on a whale carcass. The Great White reaches lengths of more than 6 metres (20 ft) and may weigh up to 2,240 kilograms (4,938 lb).

The legend of the Great White as a maneater was popularized in the 1975 movie "Jaws" starring Richard Dryfuss, Roy Schneider and Robert Shaw.

In 1976 an X rated version of Jaws was released. It was called "Gums," with male swimmers attacked from below ("literally") by a voracious mermaid. The screen writers were the notorious Cohen Brothers. According to a review in IMGbPro,

"I bought a copy of this long out-of-print movie on the old Adult Video Corporation (AVC) label for a pile of $$$. The box and tape were still in very nice condition despite being manufactured long ago (in 1979). I watched GUMS right after receiving it in the mail and was "treated" to a insane parody of JAWS featuring horny puppets, a Mermaid who blows men to death (and in one case sticks her head out of a toilet) and a Nazi lunatic played by Brother Theodore who volunteers to capture the Mermaid for oil wells instead of money. Theodore has the "Captain Quint" role in this exercise in sea-going vulgarity. Richard Bolla looks a lot like Richard Dreyfuss and carries around a blonde blow-up doll for amusement. You must see this movie to disbelieve it. Lots of underwater photography of the naked mermaid (Terri Hall) swimming around, but watch out for those lust-mad puppets!"

If anyone is thinking of modding this into SH4, don't count with me for that

Man, IGD, we've gotta get your gaming machine back up and running, something tells me you've got too much time on your hands without it. XD

for those subsim captains that enjoy a "dip" in the ocean in between task forces, here is how to minimize shark attacks.


Swim, surf, or dive with other crew members, so they will be attacked before you, and don’t move too far away from the crew on deck with life preservers. And,

1. Stay out of the water at dawn, dusk, and night, when some species of sharks may move inshore to feed. Sleep inside the submarine when possible, and avoid skinny dipping at midnight just to piss the captain off.
2. Do not abandon ship or enter the water if you have open wounds or are bleeding in any way. Sharks can detect blood and body fluids in extremely small concentrations.
3. Avoid murky waters, swimming in Japanese harbor entrances, and areas near stream mouths (especially after heavy rains), channels, or steep drop offs. These types of waters are known to be frequented by sharks.
4. Do not wear high-contrast clothing, gold necklaces, war medals, or shiny dog tags. Sharks see contrast very well. Let the officers go in first.
5. Refrain from excessive splashing; keep the boat's mascot, which swims erratically, out of the water. Sharks are known to be attracted to such activity.
6. Do not permit your skipper to let the boat sink if sharks are known to be present, and leave the water quickly and calmly if one is sighted. Do not provoke or harass a shark, or sing the refrain from "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me!" when sharks are in the vicinity, even small ones.
7. If fish or turtles start to behave erratically, get the hell out of the water. Be alert to the presence of dolphins, as they are prey for some large sharks.
8. Remove speared fish from the water or tow them a safe distance behind you. Do not swim near crew memebers fishing or spearfishing. Stay away from dead people in the water.
9. Swim or surf at beaches patrolled by lifeguards, and follow their advice unless they are on the cast of Baywatch.
10. Do not ask a Great White to open his mouth and say "Ahhh!" when checking to see if it has a sore throat.

World's 10 worst shark attacks

A great white shark killed 27-year-old Lloyd Skinner off a beach near Cape Town on Tuesday. Here are the world's 10 worst shark attacks.

Cape Town's beaches will be closed for several days after a shark killed a man, authorities said Photo: REUTERS


1) USS Indianapolis
More than 900 men were thrown to the mercy of the sharks of the Pacific Ocean when their American warship, the USS Indianapolis, was split in two by Japanese torpedoes in July 1945. When rescuers arrived four days later, they found 579 men dead, with many chewed to pieces by circling sharks. Woody James, among just 316 survivors, said later: "The sharks were around, hundreds of them...Everything would be quiet and then you'd hear somebody scream and you knew a shark had got him."
2) Shirley Ann Durdin
In 1985, Shirley Ann Durdin was diving for scallops in Australia's Peake Bay when she was attacked by a great white shark, said by witnesses to have been 20 feet long. The mighty fish tore the 33-year-old in half in its first strike as her husband and four children watched in horror from the shore. By the time rescuers arrived, all that remained was her headless torso floating in the water. Within moments, the shark returned and devoured that too.
3) Jersey Shore attacks
Four people were killed in a spate of shark attacks along the coast of New Jersey in the United States during the deadly heat wave of 1916. The first victim, 25-year-old Charles Vansant, bled to death after sharks stripped the flesh off his thigh as he went for an early-evening swim. Five days later, Charles Bruder, 27, was killed after a shark tore into his abdomen and severed his legs as he swam off the beach at Spring Lake, 45 miles north of Beach Haven.
The final attacks took place six days later on July 12 in Matawan Creek, 30 miles north of Spring Lake. Lester Stillwell, a 12-year-old local boy, was dragged underwater as he splashed in the creek with friends. Stanley Fisher, 24, plunged into the water to search for Stillwell but was himself attacked by the shark and bled to death. The 12-year-old's mutilated body was found washed up 150 feet upstream two days later. A fifth man was also attacked later that week, but survived.
4) Robert Pamperin
In June 1959, Robert Pamperin was diving for sea snails off La Jolla Cove in California when his companion, Gerald Lehrer, heard him scream for help. Turning, Lehrer saw his friend upright and unnaturally high in the water with his mask missing. As he swam closer, Lehrer watched Pamperin slowly disappearing into the crimson waves and, diving beneath the surface, he saw his friend being dragged to the sea bed in the jaws of a 22 foot shark. Scouring the water for his remains, the US Coast Guard found only a single swim fin.
5) Pacific Coast attacks
Four shark attacks occurred over a 15 day period off the Pacific Coast of the United States in 1984 - beginning with the gruesome death of a 28-year-old abalone diver. Omar Conger was resting vertically in the water and looking out to sea when his companion, Chris Rehm, saw a great white shark rear up out of the water behind him. "It grabbed him from behind, and while shaking him violently, pulled him under the water," Rehm later told researchers. The shark then resurfaced and released Conger, swimming straight at his companion. Rehm pulled his friend onto their dive mat and swam ashore, but Conger bled to death in the water.
6) Barry Wilson
Swimming near Lover's Point off the Californian coast in 1952, 17-year-old Barry Wilson was seen by onlookers to jerk suddenly from side to side. The young tuba player then screamed before witnesses saw a shark rearing out of the water to attack him from the front and drag him under. Wilson resurfaced seconds later, screaming and flailing his arms in a pool of blood. Five fellow swimmers fought for 30 minutes to drag him back to the beach through the rough surf, but he bled to death before they reached the shore.
7) Terrence Manuel
A 10-foot white pointer ripped off Terrence Manuel's right leg in 1974 as he struggled to scramble into a boat driven by his friend, John Talbot. The 26-year-old had been diving for sea snails in 30 feet of water when he suddenly burst through the surface and shouted "shark!" Talbot rushed to save his friend but was unable to prevent the attack and was instead forced to watch as Manuel bled to death in the water.
8) Randall Fry
Cliff Zimmerman was diving for abalone with his friend Randall Fry off the coast of California in 2004 when disaster struck. Zimmerman reported that he turned from Fry for a millisecond before hearing a "whooshing sound" and feeling the water move "as if a boat went by". He spun around to see Fry gone and a shark fin surfacing momentarily before the surrounding water turned red. Zimmerman swam for his life; his companion's severed head and body were found separately the following day.
9) Rodney Fox
Rodney Fox, then 13, was defending his Australian spear-fishing title in 1953 when a great white shark grabbed him round the middle and dragged him through the water upside down. The predator released him as he gouged its eyes, but soon returned and attacked again. Fox jammed his arm down the beast's throat and pulled it free again, ripping the flesh from his arm. The shark released him and then returned a third time, dragging Fox along the Ocean floor. After nearly drowning, the teenager was released and pulled aboard a nearby boat with his ribcage, lungs and upper stomach exposed. Miraculously, his main arteries remained intact and he survived after four hours of surgery and 360 stitches.
10) Brook Watson
The first recorded victim of a shark attack, British merchant sailor Brook Watson was swimming in the harbour of Havana in 1749 when a shark attacked him once and then came back for more (i.e. a second helping.) The 14-year-old's crewmates saw the attack and dragged him from the bloody water, saving his life. Despite losing a foot to the shark and later having his leg amputated, Watson went on to serve for nine years as a Member of Parliament before becoming the Lord Mayor of London.

If I were you, captains, I would skip R&R on the Hawaiin Islands, even if the Wav's are cute and "friendly." And falling off piers may do more than get you wet!

Hawaii (most attacks are by Tigers and Great Whites)

Since 1779, 102 attacks have been confirmed in the Hawaiian Islands, 44 of which were fatal. Per island, the distribution of attacks (numbers in parentheses indicate victims who died):
Hawaii 16 (11) ; Maui 24 (8) ; Molokai 5 Oahu 43 ; (20) Kauai 11 (5) ; Kaula 1 ; Midway 2. Attacks have increased since 1950, with 14 attacks in the 1950s, 24 in the 1980s, and 14 since 1990.

Victims were enjoying the following activities before the attacks: Swimming/snorkeling 23 (8); Spearfishing while snorkeling 6 (1) ; Scuba diving 4 (3) ; Spearfishing with scuba 2 (2) ; Hard-hat diving 1 ; Surfing 16 (2) ; Body boarding 5 (2) ; Windsurfing 1; Body surfing 3 (1) ; Inner tube (w/lobsters) [uh - hello???] (sitting in an inner tube in the ocean eating lobster should be considered high risk) [next time he is in an inner tube in the ocean, I'd be will to bet that he won't order lobster] [The victim issued a statment saying that the lobster had a BITE to it] 1 ; Wading 1 ; Fell/swept into sea from land 16 (16) ; Fell off boat or capsized 4 (3) ; Fishing/crabbing 13 (4).

STUART, Fla. — A man who died in a shark attack while kiteboarding off South Florida's Atlantic coast was experienced on the water and usually went out with a buddy, his friend said Thursday.
Stephen Howard Schafer, 38, was the first person killed in a shark attack in Florida in five years, experts said.
A lifeguard spotted Schafer in distress about 500 yards off the beach Wednesday about 100 miles north of Miami. When the lifeguard paddled out on a large surfboard, he found Schafer bleeding and surrounded by several sharks. The lifeguard put Schafer on his board and paddled him back to the beach.
Schafer was taken to a hospital and died a short time later. Authorities are investigating what types of sharks were involved and whether multiple sharks bit Schafer. Beaches remained open Thursday.
Shark attacks, especially fatal ones, are extremely rare, said George Burgess, a leading shark expert who directs the International Shark Attack File at the University of Florida's Museum of Natural History.
The attack on Schafer was the 14th deadly one in the state since 1896.
"Internationally, we've been averaging four fatalities per year, despite the fact that there are billions and billions of human hours spent in the sea every year," Burgess said Thursday. "Your chances of dying in the mouth of a shark are close to infinitesimal."
Friends said Schafer always followed the buddy system while surfing and were surprised he was in the water alone.
"We always know that (sharks) are out there. You see them this time of the year," said Teague Taylor, a childhood friend who says Schafer taught him to surf. "It's hard to believed that such an experienced waterman would make that one mistake."
Schafer, a gifted artist and graphic designer, was drawn to the water as a child. He surfed competitively and later started sailing, windsurfing and kiteboarding. Kiteboarders surf across the water on boards strapped to their feet, using large curved sails to pull them along.
"He had to be around the water," said Taylor, who manages a local surf store.
The U.S. leads the world in the number of unprovoked shark attacks, some deadly, some not, with about 1,032 documented since 1670, according to the International Shark Attack File. Of those, 50 were fatal. Florida leads the world with more than 600 attacks.
The last fatal shark attack in the state was in 2005 off the Florida Panhandle, where a 14-year-old Louisiana girl was attacked while swimming on a body board about 100 yards off shore.
"Florida as a geographic entity has more than any other place in the world," Burgess said, noting that most attacks are minor, "the equivalent of a dog bite."
While attacks are rare, Burgess said, people still need to be careful in the ocean.
"We need to respect it. When we enter the sea, there are certain risks that we should expect," he said.
However, Burgess noted that this time of year there are typically fewer shark attacks in Florida because temperatures are cooler and not as many people are in the water.
He said sharks are lining "up in South Florida getting ready to move north" as temperatures begin to warm.
"The sharks gradually move their way northward and disperse," Burgess said. "The message to take home is this is a rare and unusual event. It should put the antennae up for people, in terms of, 'Yeah, we need to be careful when we enter the sea, but we need to do that every time because we're never guaranteed safety 100 percent of the time when we enter a wild world.'"

I just heard about that attack on last nights news, its sad. The worst part is that less than a week ago the same news station was showing footage of large schools of sharks along the Florida coast that was shot from a chopper.

I can tell you from fishing in SW Florida for many years that we may have fewer sharks in the winter, but i have caught them all year round. The winter makes them come closer to shore in search of warmer waters and people should be alert for Sharks anytime of year, but the Florida Tourism Board would never tell you that.

[ryanglavin]

As long as people don't kill sharks for revenge, I am happy. Well still sad.
But sharks clean out our oceans from all the sick and dying fish. Without them, well, the oceans would suck.
