WW2 era "submarines" are not truly submarines, but submersible ships. The implication is that subs of that era travel so much better on water surface than when submerged, so they actually spent most of the time on surface, and only submerge when stealth / evasion is required. Hence, it was feasible to have deck gun on subs as its effectiveness in harassing unarmed merchant ships outweighed the hydrodynamic penalty it carries.

In sharp contrast to WW2 subs, modern subs' hydrodynamic hull design makes them so much more suitable to travel submerged. Also, gone are the days of visual target acquisition when anything can be detected by hugely improved surface radar and underwater sonar detection technologies. Not to mention improved torpedo target tracking. Hence, surface gun battle for subs is no longer feasible. Subs have become the stealthy assassin from the depths. Something must go terribly wrong for a modern sub to get entangled in close range surface gun fight.

Anyway, mind story a bit how you actually sunk a battleship with 30+ shells without getting sunk? I would get rekt almost immediately by mere destroyer guns if I stayed on surface longer than a minute lol. Not sure if SH1 was much easier to play than SH3.

The noisiest is shrimp...they make noise when in groups. Whale do make tup tup noise like mechanical sound, but not in similar tempo. Dolphin, as usual...like to follow any ship, as well as sub.

like this?

Wondering how many crew able to fit into scorpene?

I used to play silent hunter 1 PC game back in 1996. Since i really sucked at using torpedo to sink enemy warships, i just took my sweet time to sink an imperial navy battleship using  a DECK GUN after 30 or more shell shots.

So my question: why there is no more DECK GUN installed on modern submarines? You gotta have it for personal defence or to take a pot shot at small ships right?

life in a submarine

please record next and post here...want to see what can be seen 

LTZ tunjuk sikit meals dalam sub mcm mana

Similar with outside.... cook creativity for crews moral

nanti share gambo food boleh??share la bekfes,lunch and diner...kami pun nak tau 

Yup....it could happen. Which caused by external/foreign object which blocked the seawater inlet. What we do to clear is to blow high pressure thru the piping system to clear it.
