I always thought it was strange that we had flight sims but not proper naval sims. Imagine being the captain of a WW1 battleship, or a gunner on a carrier in the WWII Pacific theater, or even just a sailor lost at sea who has to survive.


There was Silent Service, where you were the captain of a U-boat in WWII, but it was SO realistic, I would get bored with literally waiting and doing nothing for long stretches while destroyers hunted overhead.


There's the Silent Hunter series, which does U-boats and is pretty excellent.


Sea of Thieves may at least scratch that itch for a bit.
