Greetings from Humboldt Co. CA USA

Hello surface warfare people. I've been a long time fan of naval warfare starting with NJROTC in the second half of the 80's. I studied late Soviet era naval warfare tactics and developed an interest in naval history. I've been to USPACOM and met ADM Ronald J. Hays, USN in the 80's. I know what the Washington treaty was and how it influenced the naval architecture of the era represented by many vessels currently available to use for play. I come from the era of playing games such as The Hunt for Red October (C-64) and Harpoon (1990's era PC).

Good hunting!

Welcome to the game and forum. I am happy to see another player who is knowledgeable about the history and development of naval matters. May I suggest that you study the period 1900-1935 from the point of view of the Japanese, Russian, German, British, and American naval needs and the development or their naval forces.

 

I am sure that as an attendee to American naval classes and studies that you are familiar with Alfred Thayer Mahan's The Influence of Seapower Upon History. As you know, this USN officer profoundly influence US and British naval thought and development and was admired by President Theodore Roosevelt and many of the top brass of the Navy.

Welcome aboard Captain!

 

Another Naval History enthusiast here. Never been in the Navy but I have studied the subject for over 40 years so I am knowledgeable and this adds to the game enjoyment for me.

 

I know enough about WWI and WWII and have read countless books and material. Hell, I even know about old important battles like Salamis (way - way before recent times, and one of the most important naval encounters ever for western civilization, but I digress).
