Looking for a game for my dad

[roguerower]

Can anyone name a really good game based on Naval Warfare that's out there, past or present. I'm looking for something mainly taking place prior the 20th century, as my dad has a degree in military history. I know age of sail existed, but i can't find that anywhere. Any ideas?

silent hunter 3, sooooooo realistic. you actually learn how to command a ww2 u-boat. requirement is high though

if he likes modern day engagements too, Dangerous Waters is very good.

Maybe check out some of the old SSI sim games if you think they'd be his speed.

thanks for the replies. I'm looking more along the lines of sailing ships. Age of Sail II was a bust, but anything like it?
