Seriously though your idea is a good one.

Hey, who knows maybe they would do an artical and UV could get some free advertisement.

I think a better idea would be ads in WW2 historical mags

"World War 2 History" and/or
"Military History"

by Primedia Publications would be potentially beneficial (I have subscriptions to both). Then again, I have no idea what the rates are. I do know they do occasionally have games advertised (there's a full page add for "BattleFront" in almost every issue).

Kid nice idea!

I feel that the Navy Times is read by perhaps many more though than the Mag Proceedings. Proceedings was mostly always kept in the ward room on ships and seems in my memory mostly to have been read by Officers and not the general enlisted.

Status: offline 		The wardrooms on USN ships recieve the subscription to Proceedings for free. The other magazine published by the Naval Institute that is really worth a look is Naval History. Not so much political opinions and essays etc. like Proceedings but some amazing recounts of famous events in Naval History.

ps. Senior Chief, as a former defense council at one of your annual functions (in 1986 while serving as ASW Officer on USS Blakely FF-1072) I wish to say I enjoy reading your posts and am happy to see the guys who really run the USN represented here. I especially enjoyed reading your AAR early on when you had UV and we were waiting for its release. When I'm ready to play for real, I'll e-mail you a turn. Tom-O

Ahh those were the days. They are not the same now days. Its a kinder gentler navy now. I hope you did a better job than my defense council. ;)
