The play is straightforward, though a bit complicated. This is an excellent simulation with high-quality production values that will satisfy armchair admirals for years with its accurate simulation of U.S. submarine warfare in the Pacific Theater.

I was personally gratified to see that the U.S.S. Cobia, a ship I have toured, is one of the subs available for deployment in the campaign game. The Cobia is moored at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, and is one of the few World-War Two vintage subs available to tour. While the Cobia was not built in the Manitowoc shipyards, it is the same class of sub—the Gato Class—built there during the war. For more information about the Cobia and the Wisconsin Maritime Museum, visit http://www.wisconsinmaritime.org/sub.htm.
