probably a misquote from the movie... but this iswhat came to the forefront of my mind as i read through this cutting first hand account written by the commanding officer of a doomed sub crew back in 1910...

this guy had gotten it right... even way back then...

scroll down a bit to the second narrative... this one really deserves reading...

Good read indeed. Those early subs were awfully hazardous.

Aye, we need addon platforms like that! If you ever thought the U-IIA gave a limited performance, try these ones!
