New and glad to be here!

Hello all,

I just discovered the site and I am glad I did. Years ago I played Silent Service and loved it. I have searched on and off through the years for a good WW II era US submarine game and just came across Silent Hunter IV (years late I might add). I have been poking around for a day or so looking for the most effective way to get a copy of the software and get it installed with the most important updates. I will be searching this site and probably asking questions after a couple of days.

I got started in Submarines as a kid watching Saturday afternoon war movies. I have to admit, "Run Silent, Run Deep" and "Destination Tokyo" filled my imagination. The underwater scenes just turned me on.

This so affected me that in college I was an NROTC nuclear power candidate and later became a Submarine Medical Officer for Submarine Squadron Ten in Groton, CT. I rode the fast attack boats as often as they would have me. These are the fondest memories of my 23 year career in the Navy.

Well, thanks for having me. I have a lot of searching and reading to do. Any advice on how best to start will be welcome.

Ken

Welcome to Subsim Ken.

Great Introduction as well. HW3 is correct in that you can usually find what you are looking for at Amazon. Further, by using Amazon, Subsim gets some money back to help finance the site.

With regards to how to get started, let us know what you are looking for specifically and we will help you as much as we can. This also applies to how to mod or " Supercharge " your games.

Enjoy your time here and Thank You for your service as well.

Enjoy your retirement.
