### 1/5 — No good

*2012-10-26*

Not worth it.  Only one pic of each sub, not much info.

### 2/5 — Where is the history of these ships as advertised?

*2012-06-10*

There is one pic of most subs and no history of even the classes. Because this app creator did such a good job with the surface ships I purchased this one. Please add the histories with all the details. As advertised.
