Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2010 2:29 amActually there was still an older class serving in the Pacific:
The S-Class boats served in the early days in the Phillipines from Manila, later in the Dutch East Indies, and then in the Solomons and the Aleutians.
Not very successful though
.
All those submarine classes look great, TR. Keep up the nice work [smiley=thumbsup.gif]!

Re: First Class
Posted: Mon Oct 18, 2010 7:11 pmVery true. To put that in perspective, the 17 S boats that served in WWII are credited with a total of 42 sinkings (including sampans and junks) equaling about 130,000 tons. In comparison, the SS-193, USS Tautog, a member of the Tambor class, alone is credited with 26 sinkings totaling 72,000 tons. And the single ship record, if I remember correctly, is held by the USS Spearfish, SS-190, at 23 sinkings totaling 133,000 tons.
small stuff.....
I got over 6,000,000 tons in a campaign of Silent Hunter 1
