35 knots is typically pretty damn fast with cavitation. Did you know submarines can travel faster underwater than on the surface?

Yeah, the teardrop shape helps. It used be to faster on surface before the cold war era, but it all changed.
 
OUT OF GAME: Hey, i'm going to jump off andmy dad will jump in. Shogun just tour the city or something. In case I don't jump back on, see you guys tommorow.
 
"Thank you," Shogun bowed and left with his squadron, Shogun then said, "Well, lets get three jeeps, split up into your flight groups, and just decide who will drive," Shogun then asked his flight group, "Do you mind if drive?" Masaru said, "Only if you don't crash," Arata, Ayumu and Haruki nodded in agreement, Arata said, "If you crash, your paying for the jeep, we aren't" Shogun smiled and then said, "Lets go get the jeep, I will practice drifting,"

Damn, most people dont know that. :D

Yah, the thing is that U-boats and American subs were designed with a boat like hull because the majority of the time they were actually on the surface.
Not a vat majority, maybe a difference of several percentage points, but enough.

I know what you mean, a lot of people doesn't know what is an afterburner and that is REALLY sad.

Because of the batteries needing recharging and oxygen :D
 
You shouldve seen my face when I saw that Russian fighter, the Pak Fa, that thing can seriously compete with the F-22 and is only 70% of the F-22's price. It's a beautiful fighter, the overrall program costed Russia maybe 20%-40% of the F-22 program I believe. There is a beauty to ingenuity.
 
It was nighttime and we were watching the city. We had gone shallow enough for about 10 feet of the mast to protrude from the water but no more. We gazed at the chaos of the city. Cars blaring their horns, people running around, and yet, relaxing. What they get, is heaven, and we push them up their, us damned dead ones, our dead souls, that come alive long enough to die once again.
 
We lined up the president,and all of the cabinet ministry and gave them a 21 gun salute to the chest. Bogata and Coloumbia was ours. :)

"I just received word comrade General." "The goverment of Equador has just signed an alliance with us against all of our enemies,whomever they are." "And the shipment from Russia has arrived and General Santiago (Cuba)has begun sending the tech equipment to Caracas for installation and fabracation."

"The peruvian goverment has sent troops to their border and is fortifying all roads and waterways."Colonel Hernandez stated.
 
We had picked up a few diplomats including Gorchev's (the president's) highest staff member and we were sent to south America with some supplies...and champagne, to congragulate the communist uprising, in person.
 
But right before that when I was heading back to the drydock after leave I saw the front hull of the submarine and the mast. Not to mention 50 crewmembers and dockworkers with stupid smiles on their faces standing on my boat.

"I suggest you hide those cans of paint less el supremo find out who defaced his precious submarine" I said laughing

They also chuckled, they had painted a shark on the submarine with it's mouth closed, from stern to to bow, and there was a single fin on the mast.

was stunned

A crew men came up to me with paint all over his face and hands "well it is an akula class boat, we figured we had better make it into a real shark." He said

Right before I climbed onto the mast and into the control room I saw what else was on the side. The silouhette of every ship we ever sank. Not just that! They painted on a few as jokes, there were three old ladies and the symbols for five people in wheelchairs.

I burst out laughing, I could help it. But on the very top of the mast where the words Dimitriy were they had taken red paint and painted over the "Y", a nice touch I thought, it was blatantly obvious that they had meant the submarine should be named for it's captain...

The inside was even wilder, they had gotten cleaning and repainting crews inside and the submarine on the inside looked so alive.
 
They walked to the supply depot, he showed the officer his ID,

"Captain Shogun Minamoto, Yamato Squadron,"

The officer saluted and said,

"Sir, how can I help you?"

Shogun then said,

"We would like to buy 3 driver's license and sign out three jeeps,"

The officer said,

"Yes sir, $90 for the license please,"

Shogun payed $30 and said to the other drivers,

"Pay up, I am not paying for yours,"

They chuckled and put in their money, and signed out the jeeps.
