My brother was a big fan of those submarine games. I also remember playing 688 Attack Sub and Seawolf (aka SSN-21 Seawolf) Subs were absolutely just meta for so long. It makes me sad when games refuse to acknowledge how fucking OP subs were when they “balance” them. Foxhole has the Candy Flipping America Shirt also I will do this worst submarines by far. On release you could gas the crew from outside, while the sub was submerged. My favorite part of subs in WoW is that you can only stay underwater for a matter of minutes. I get it, subs have to surface eventually, but the difficulty of using subs is not balanced out by the possibility of big rewards. I mean, they might still be. There haven’t been many postwar conflicts involving submarines, so we don’t have much (public) info. As a usn submariner, I can confidently tell you that submarines are in fact ridiculously OP, I would argue even more so than ever Yea, in a single sentence. The argument in my head mostly is about how quiet and fast submarines are, and how good we are at finding enemy submarines without being found ourselves, and obviously we are the most important part of the nuclear triad. If you’re only talking about ssns, though, then a single seawolf or Virginia can still destroy an entire enemy strike group single handedly without being found Not to mention the effectiveness of torpedoes is an order of magnitude better today. I don’t think any surface ship could survive a proper hit from a torpedo detonating under the keel.

Why is the Candy Flipping America Shirt also I will do this navy the most important part of the triad? It seems to me the missiles in montana etc are the best placed because it’s harder to get close enough to destroy them, so any attack gives you enough warning time to fire a retaliatory shot? Plus better comms etc Because land based icbms are the most easily destroyed with a preemptive strike. Their defense strategy is quantity The nuke you don’t know where it’s launching from or stationed is immensely more dangerous than the ones you are tracking, and can keep an eye on. It’s the equivalent of showing your opponent 2 knives, but giving them the knowledge you have three pointed at them. It’s the emphasis on the mutually assured destruction part. You nuke the entire country, and the subs just pop up, dump their load, and your ass in on the first train to hell too. Imo Of course, but I think even without my bias I can make a pretty strong argument for why submarines are the most powerful ships in the ocean

Blind man’s bluff is my favorite submarine book, and then after reading that think about the Candy Flipping America Shirt also I will do this fact that modern day subs can do even crazier things I’ll have to check that out! Last one I read was Northern Fury, although that’s not sub-specific but more of a 90s Red Storm Rising. Yep. They are so hard to detect that a French and an English sub collided, and a Chinese sub surfaced in the middle of an American fleet doing exercises. India also sunk a Pakistani frigate, and the DPRK sank a ROK Corvette. They were using diesel-electrics though – only the UK has an SSN kill (that we know of at least). Argentina also unsuccessfully fired torpedoes at British ships during the Falklands. Or at least some accounts say they did. It forces other players to invest in destroyers or fight invisible fleets…. Which I subsequently take down with aircraft carriers. The main problem I have with them in Civ is that subs become visible and targetable by city defense when they attack cities. By the time I have subs I’m mostly looking for ways to rapidly reduce city defenses, and the missile cruisers generally seem better at that. Well, as long as you continue to adapt them. The Japanese and Germans didn’t, at least sufficiently to have them be an effective force.

That’s because they both lost so many subs that it wasn’t worth it logistically and materially to do so. The Japanese lost 128 and Germany lost 785 Imo, they still are. Nuclear subs are the Candy Flipping America Shirt also I will do this true “Dreadnoughts” of our time, insofar that just a handful of them can potentially tip the balance of naval power or a regional scale. Aircraft carriers are good for intimidating a nation who still uses Soviet equipment to better not restrict global trade too much. But when shit truly hits the fan at some point in the future, it’ll be the submarines who’ll decide who rules the waves. For about half of the war they were the absolute terror of the seas to the point that even Churchill said that the U-boats were the biggest threat to the war effort. Their effectiveness diminished as Britain and the US slowly started to introduce new technologies and tactics around 1942 that dramatically reduced the amount of ships sunk by the U-boats to practically 0 by the time D-Day happened.

How I can buy this Candy Flipping America Shirt

The Americans made the Candy Flipping America Shirt also I will do this German U-boat campaign look like a fucking joke. For all intents and purposes, Japans Merchant fleet stopped existing by 1945 and there was a very real threat of a famine in Japan by the time the Atomic Bombs were dropped. Most of the American’s submarine’s work was also done in 1944-45, as up until late 1943, America’s torpedos straight up did not work. For a country as logical and advanced regarding warfare as the US, the story of the faulty mark 14 is absolutely out of left field. Our military pre WWII was completely ass-backwards. You should read up on the development of U.S. tank doctrine. The army straight up refused to adopt mechanized and armored warfare because of the old guard generals with way too much influence were Cavalry officers and didn’t want funding diverted away from their horses.
Sounds like US corporations. Everybody protects their ass and wants to ride the Candy Flipping America Shirt also I will do this successes of their past forever. I mean it’s just a classic case of pride, ego and corruption leading to a lot of preventable deaths of servicemen that no country’s armed forces is immune to. What makes the US, and democracies in general, so effective in war is that the military is ultimately held accountable for their mistakes by their government and the public, as we ultimately are the ones that pay them for a service, and if they’re not providing an adequete service, we start to question it’s legitimacy and the money we spend on them, so therefore pressure from both the public and government does eventually enforce change. The U-Boat hunting campaigns are one of the most overlooked parts of the war against Nazi Germany. They involved brilliant technological breakthroughs, brilliant codebreaking, an incredible span of operations, and TONS of talented people (I’ve read that the US Navy had a team of ladies whose full time job was to track and monitor U-Boat movements, the methods used in their work were so secretive that they weren’t allowed to talk about it at all for decades after the war ended).
To be fair, the Candy Flipping America Shirt also I will do this situation with the Japanese fleet was different because they didn’t have the will (or ability?) to replace all the tonnage sunk. One of the reasons the Battle of the Atlantic was won was because the US simply built more tonnage than was sunk. I would also say that Japan didn’t really have a proper Anti-Submarine doctrine. The UK at least had experience fighting in WW1 with how to deal with the U-boats, so the institutional knowledge of basic Anti-Sub Warfare was pretty well ingraned into the Royal Navy, and then prioritized it as they knew that U-boats were going to be the primary maritime threat to the UK during a war with Germany. Japan didn’t have such advantages, and were extremely slow to adopt even the most basic Radar on their ships. Iirc, the Yamato was the only Japanese ship with radar on it and I genuinely do not know if the Japanese even put SONAR on their ships. Their navy and army (sometimes literally) fought over resource allocations and whenever the IJN got funding and material, they opted for the Quality over Quantity approach (which was realistically their only option) and concentrated their efforts into a very small amount of elite ships and crews, that if lost, practically crippled the IJN. Carriers and Battleships got the most amount of attention and the smaller Cruisers and Destroyers, ships vital for Anti-Submarine Warfare got practically none during the war.
