[KaleunMarco]

i was driving a S-42 boat late November 1943.
while on patrol, we took horrific damage, 87%, and still managed to make it back to port, although we had to go the long way to get there (Milne to Dutch Harbour).

upon arrival we were given the choice of ending our naval career or taking a new command. we took the latter. imagine our surprise when our new command was a S-18 boat!

and....our late-1943 S-Boat came with the original conning tower and not with the January 1943 conning tower. Go figure...

now, i have to say at this time that all boats share the same Upgrade Class, but i am still in wonder at the choice that SH4 made for a replacement.

i suspect that the S-18 will be retired early in 1944 so it will be interesting to see what choice, if any, will be able when that happens.
