Default USS Drum 14th War Patrol Screenshots

Some screen shots from the Drum's 14th and final war patrol 1 July-August 1945 in the Sea of Okhotsk and Kurile Islands. (war ended while en route to Pearl Harbor from patrol area)

Artic Sunrise


External cam was turned off but used the roaming free cam to "step outside". Shot of the OOD in cold weather gear on the bridge.

Drum shortly after leaving Pearl Harbor in final configuration. 5 inch 25 cal deck gun forward, 40 MM bofors forward, with twin 20 MM conning tower aft and a twin 20 MM on the aft deck. SV radar antenna is visible as well.

Gato ladder in control room is not in historically accurate position(much as possible within the sim)

Icebergs were encountered numerous times.





Icerberg viewed through late war periscope when extended while Drum on the surface.

Kurile Islands




Not from this last patrol but a previous one. Shows the mines than can get you on the surface now and their explosion above surface. Pretty cool.
