Official description

Join the elite ranks of Silent Service - the best selling, award-winning submarine simulation.

As captain of a World War II submarine stationed in the South Pacfic your goal is to seek out, track and sink Japanese shipping. Imagine the tension as you spot your prey through the periscope. You plan to attack when suddenly an enemy destroyer sights you. Hunter becomes hunted and survival depends on quick decision making.

In this simulation you live by your wits. All the critical battle stations are featured including the conning tower, engine room, ship's bridge and attack plotting system. Automatic time scaling ensures actions and decisions are constantly required as you undertake historical combat missions.

There are four skill levels and various 'reality levels' so you can customize complexity. Find out if you've got a head for depths.
