Has anyone suggested submarines and u-boats for the naval aspect?  Might be neat.  :salute

If you add subs, you need a way of sinking them...

That wasn't what I was thinking, I am just having a brain fart and can't remember the name of the ship you use to sink a sub.  But I like the idea  :aok

No, but water is.  Mythbusters proved that and the sub would only need to dive about 10 feet under to be safe from all rounds.

water is not "bullet proof"...for that to happen there would have to be zero penetration. don't forget a 250lbs bomb can get deep enough to put a nice hole in your sub...especially if it has a delayed fuse.

Well if you'll stay 200ft (or what ever is the operations depth for a sub) under water all the time than you wont be a threat. When you surface you'll be an easy target.

     Anyone know what the maximum depth for launching a WW2 torp is?  I know they usually launched at periscope
depth for obvious reasons.
