What age? That would depend on which side.
I don't think wwii duty in a Uboat would be all that swell

WW2 duty in a Gato or a Balao wouldn't be too bad. I'd like to do that. U-boats? Not so much. American boats seem easier on the crew. Except for S-Boats. Forget that. That is as bad as a U-boat.

What? No S-boats in the Aleutians for you?

No. S-boats are not at all my favorite. I'm still deciding which fleet boat class i like best.

Post Korean conflict and pre-nuclear age
Diesel boats are in my blood since I turned 19 back in 1963 and reported aboard my first sub just a few days later on April 6th. Four days later the USS Thresher SSN 593 sank off the east coast April 10th 1963 ... My mom was a little worried after that, but that's what mom's do. It was a great time of serving with some great sailors that I may never meet again till I get to heaven. The 1960's also saw the advent of the regulas missile and our own boat the USS Salmon was considered for becoming a refueling submarine for the old jet seaplane that was canceled. I forgot the name of it PB-6 I think. Anyway's the 1960's were great and then came the nukes

I'm an S boat fan. Any time from their maiden voyages to & including ww2.
One of my favourite places on the web are the "through the looking glass" pages on Pigboat.com. Especially the tour through USS S-4 on Christmas day 1919. I don't know what it is about that era but the photographs are wonderfully evocative. |
