That was so sick, really felt like I was on a submarine engaging in warfare, you made it feel like I was there and I was scared when the S-boat was taking fire, when you dove underwater for that first time after taking fire and sent your crew to battle stations I could really feel the pressure and for a brief moment of a few seconds I really felt like I was in danger in the claustrophobic control station while sitting at my desk.

Hi Devin - I had no idea you were an SH4 fan too! I love that game still, played the hell out of it, and even got involved with the modding scene on SUBSIM for a few years. Super excited for this series. There are so many fascinating untold stories from the Pacific Submarine theater of operations that I feel do not get the attention they deserve. With your love of history I am sure you will do them justice (eg. the Mark 14 torpedo fiasco, Commander Howard Gilmore's Medal of Honor, the USS Tullibee and USS Tang sinking themselves with their own torpedoes etc etc....). Stoked for this series mate. I have put this in a reply to another comment but will repeat it here too. If you are at all interested in the S Class Submarine operations (Pigboats!) I can also heartily recommend 'Pigboat 39: An American Sub Goes to War'. The story of S39 from the start of the war until her loss in August 1942. Really gives you a feel for how antiquated the sub was (compared to the newer fleetboats), how it was held together by rust and hope, and what the captain and crew went through on her 5 war patrols

You get the feeling you are on the back foot the whole time, the Japanese are advancing and there really doesn't seem to be anything you can do about it. They are like an unstoppable juggernaut. You quickly get rebased to Surabaya, and then only a few months later have to retreat all the way to Australia. It always gave me a feeling for just how desperate the first 6 months of the Pacific war were

Whitewater in the bow wave was only part of the problem with being visible at night. In those warm tropical waters there were a lot of organisms, plankton and so on, that were phosphorescent, causing a visible, glowing wake that would pinpoint the boat at night to any ships or aircraft in the area for miles around, and that same glowing wake would, of course, dog torpedoes as well. This phosphorescence was also a problem for PT boats.

So sorry.... Trim tanks and ballast tanks. Trim meter, yes you got it right but to add on that. The ballast tanks in simple terms controls the depth of submarine. Trim tanks are tied in to the system. Think of a normal level with that air bubble in it. Say we are level but we want to dive the submarine. We need the nose/Bow of the ship to dive down first. So we use the trim water in the trim tanks and fill up the front/ Bow of the ship. In turn sub dive. Opposite 4 surfacing pump water aft and out. Last to add most people do not know this. If a sub turns on its side more then 85 90 degrees it will sink. Think of a drink straw we all did that trick as kids with are finger at the top. Are ballast tanks work the same way there is nothing on the bottom to stop water from filling the tanks.

The first time I ever met him I was actually during a D-Day memorial. We were up paying the our honors to the Dead. I was a part of the honor guard we were on our classes and what happened was is it started raining about I don't know 20 minutes before it was supposed to start. We put in our jackets and prepped herself to be out there. And I remember because everybody and their brother was sitting here you know saying hey maybe we should postpone it and I remember admiral staffery just walk out there and his dress whites. And tell him let's get this show on the road and we all stood out there in the rain giving her honors and what I thought was amazing was he stood out there with us the whole speech everything salute all of it and he said. These men died so that we could be free it is the least we can do to honor them whether it be rain shine snow or sleet to show them that we remember them we honor their sacrifice. And we remember that because of them we breathe the free air. Because of them the world was freed from darkness. To be honest I was a pretty short speech but it was kick ass. To be honest is an army man we were like that's right speak truth. The best part about it was that he made sure that Oliver uniforms got cleaned and fixed because of the event and if anything was damaged the military replaced it.

Ships seem to follow realistic convoy routes (I have a convoy map that I often look at to decide where to patrol, but I cant remember where i got it. I might be part of RFB but I really don't know). Enemy escorts seem to be well mixed as well. In these early episodes I evaded those escorts pretty easily, but in an episode I just recorded I was hounded for hours by a destroyer and sub chaser. I hope that helps answer your question a little haha! For me, I like the mix of skill and ship appearances, it never feels too much like feast or famine.

My uncle was a submariner in WW2, and his first submarine the diesels were so unreliable, that they came into port under sail more often than under power. The sail masts would lay in the deck until needed then would be hoisted into place, and a sail strung between them. You have to remember that most of the desil engines lubricants were developed during the war, and these were later put to use on the diesel trucks after the war. This increased the efficiency of the diesel to what it is today. My uncle Bob, was a torpedoman, and toward the end of the war was a Chief of the boat. Several subs that he transferred off of, upon the next deployment, did not come back. One of his Captain's when the were being depth charged, had a nervous breakdown, and had to be relieved and restrained.

Silent Hunter 3 was my favorite though. I love the difficulty dynamic of starting with a primitive boat and ill-equipped opponents, and slowly improving your boat while the AI is leaping far ahead in terms of tactics and technology. Never played this one, so it will be interesting to see how that dynamic and the tactics vary over the course of the war.

I, too, put many hours into SH3. Once 4 came out though, I was hooked. I know a lot of people are "Uboats or Nothing" types, but personally I'll take the US boats if given the option.

@@devinhorner2358 every S boat was different, no standerdization. The best models we're designed by the electric boat company and the us Navy built boats were dangerous

'Moon ' Chapple was the real life commander of S-38 on this patrol. Her first kill was a Norweigen freighter, though she was credited with a Jspanese ship, the 5400 ton Hiyo Maru.

I've had this game for years and never really understood how to use the manual targeting, so i'm hoping to learn something new as I still play this game every so often. Also I've never played with any mods, I tried years ago to get the real fleet boat mod working but never had any success and finally I got it to work, but my boat has no deck gun or AA gun? I can assign crew to them but I can't use them or see them on the boat? Can you give any help with that?

I'm impressed. Beautiful intro. Lots of very interesting information. A real mine of knowledge about submarines. Halfway through the video, I decided to subscribe to your channel. As for interesting facts, you told about the torpedoing of a Norwegian ship by an American S-class submarine. I will now talk about the sinking of an S-class submarine by friendly fire from a Norwegian destroyer. This is precisely the Polish submarine ORP Jastrząb (P-551), formerly USS S-25 (SS-130) - a single-hull American submarine of the S/S-1 type, specifically S-25, which was transferred to Great Britain as part of war aid under the Lend Lease Act, and by the latter leased to the Polish Navy. The ship was sunk in the Norwegian Sea on May 2, 1942, as a result of a mistake by the commanders of allied surface units during a long-range cover operation for convoy PQ-15. Originally, the British flag was to be raised on the ship, and the Polish flag only outside American territorial waters, but as a result of the efforts of the Polish commander, Romanowski, the authorities agreed to raise the Polish flag immediately. On November 4, 1941, at the New London base, the ship was officially withdrawn from service in the United States Navy and simultaneously handed over to Great Britain as HMS P-551, with the unit immediately leased by the British government to the Polish government in exile. At the same time, at 4:15 p.m., the Polish flag was ceremonially raised in the presence of many representatives of the Polish American community. On November 12, 1941, the ship was baptized in Groton - P-551 was named "Jastrząb". The command was taken over by Capt. Bolesław Romanowski. The new godparents of the ship are Anna Strakacz - daughter of the Consul General of the Republic of Poland in New York, and Admiral Richard S. Edwards. The ship was baptized according to the Anglo-Saxon ceremonial with the words: I name this ship Jastrząb. God Bless Her and All that sail with Her.
