Default Top-Secret U-boat photo released...

After months of careful conjecture, millions invested on classified missions and hundreds of man hours spent on research. Today a top-secret photograph was obtained that proves there is a new submarine threat that the world will need to deal with.



Happy New Year from the crew of Das Boot!!

This model was unsuccessful as the lace came untied and she tripped over it.
