Ok so yet another challenge has arrived and a new test for me.
I shall take command of the Queen Mary 2, and take her from manhattan to Southampton it should take just one week, i plan to leave at noon monday the 1st of may and i should be able to end on saturday the 6th.
Some spec's.
Queen Mary 2 displaces 150,000 tonnes and is 1,135 feet long 147 feet wide with top speed of 30 knots.

I hope your passengers have life insurance Kapitan, with you at the helm tanked up on alcohol. My bet you will loose a dust up with an iceberg, well all I can say is rest in peace. Opps sorry I meant to say good luck you crazy Ivan you.   |

Im not that bad plus ive had to cut down on the drink, ever since i bought that crate of cobra beer.
Anyway she will be roughly fully loaded and a small sprint at 27 knots so 6 days should be fine. |

I was in the med monitering a task force when i was run over by the USS John C Stennis.
I had been shadowing the fleet for a few days when i decided to get in close so i raced ahead and waited only when i poped up to get a visual i found the nimitz heading straight for me.
I dived just not quick enough and my rear end was hit by the bow which forced my sub upwards till i hit the sail on her hull, i broke left at full speed managing to get out of the way before the screws ripped through my hull.
Severly damaged i headed back to the black sea home base. |
