New Submarine Web Site
Found a good new submarine-based website at sub-log.com. It features articles, news updates, reviews, and a "buoyancy" game that lets you remember the frustration you felt trying to get the ship trimmed. (The first time I played it, I was so worried about trimming the ship fore and aft that I forgot to bring on enough water, and popped up to the surface way too early; ended up scoring an 1131, which anyone else here should be able to beat.)
Going deep...

The game is a little slow paced, but sometimes that's okay when cubicle time slows to a crawl. I didn't pay much attention to my score, but you keep blowing the tank when you're deep and shoot to the surface. I got the entire boat out of the water by coming up level. If you want more of a traditional up angle for your blow, you need to pump out of forward trim.

That was fun. I was up around 35,000 when the boat drifted off the screen.

Hi all, thanks for looking at my buoyancy "game" and posting comments.
Yeah, I just wrote to Eric at thesubreport.com that one of my fix-it items was "Make it fun". :-)
And of course floating up out of the water - that's not good. I'm working on a more realistic behavior for bobbing to the surface.
anyways thanks for looking-
