I almost went to visit a Dom years ago. She was on a dating site I was using at the time and lived in Basildon; she invited me down for some kind of (allegedly very mild) session but I chickened out en-route and went back home - hence the "almost".
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
My favouite sub would most likely be Ole Gunnar Solskjaer aka. supersub.
Pity his management skills don't quite match his footballing ones - great player to bring on when the opposition were tiring.

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
They did a mid size version /ladies version as well
Just read through this thread, I know it wasn't the OP's intention but it is very amusing, feels like a class of kids taking advantage of a supply teacher..
But that sort of drift is what makes the forum what it is. This could never happen on a cloned version of WUS.

Very odd, what does the top lid do? Edit: just realised it's probably the back, not very comfy though.I can imagine a Submariner getting very excited about one of these:
Stops you from getting tossed against the pump behind you without blocking access if you need to work on it?

Exactly, no mods to shut us down.

I suppose that's what happens if you hve a lot of blokes sealed into a confined space for weeks on end...

Just down the road from me. Never been though, but driven past it. Isn't that the way, when something's on your doorstep. You don't bother about it.No, this one is in the UK at Woodside, Birkenhead. Well worth a visit if you're ever near Liverpool, a good excuse to take a ferry across the Mersey too as it's located right at the side of the Woodside Pier.
It's for tourists

A timely thread this, as I've just finished this very interesting book. Full to the brim with subs it was.
My brother in law is called Dom, obviously short for Dominic - Battersea?

Have you ever climbed the tower of the Cologne Dom? Great view.

Surely the most relevant sub for a Rolex thread?
Trieste.
Is that a Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine sub; I believe they sailed out of Trieste?Trieste.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

This one I think
No, its a Rolexschiche sinkert Bathyscaphiche marinemachina.
Lad at graft split with his wife and ended up being a regular visitor to the type of person you bottled meeting up with.
The tales he told us all had some of us wincing just listening but he seemed to enjoy the whole experience.
From what he mentioned, you’ve dodged a bullet.
He never mentioned an interest in watches though...
I hate to brag, but I have a matching watch AND clock with subs on. Beat that, bitches.

Huh, trust you to go and get relevant.

That’s obviously the more extreme end of the lifestyle choice?
I think I would start out with a tennis table bat myself. Just to make sure it’s for me.
I would go with this for the first visit
I think you must be mistaken; that one's not Austrian at all. I can see the cause of your confusion because it does have a schnitzel hatch like most of the others.

Thats a lovely pair you seem to have acquired.

That looks interesting. I love reading histories of the Atlantic campaign.A timely thread this, as I've just finished this very interesting book. Full to the brim with subs it was.

I realised I'd already posted a thread, (many years ago!), about U534 with quite a few pictures, so here's a link to it....

Very interesting read, I never knew there are only 4 U-boats left in the world...
Thank you I G. I remember a visit to Devonport Dockyard, they were piled up one on top of another by the dozen - such a shame that more weren't preserved, especially as a lot of them looked to be in reasonable condition.

I like submariners, they're a breed apart from other Navy types. Identified by have a completely different language and complexion to their surface counterparts (who refer to submariners as 'sun dodgers') and are scruffier than any other service in the RN.
The captain of this sub is a friend of mine.

My mate is petrified of them so I used to take photos and send them to her to make her want to vomit.
Ahh happy days.
Now that sounds like somebody with more than a passing acquaintance with submariners.

I had to be really careful there Verv....
Crash diving, going down in flames, batten down the manhole covers, these naval types are a law unto themselves... and its a boat...
I'm afraid that the original supersub was a fella named David Fairclough. And he played for Liverpool FC.
My favourite submariner.

Now that brought back some great memories Bob. Troy Tempest and Aqua Marina
