Andy Benford is a retired Royal Navy submarine captain; he passed the "Perisher" course in 1980. He saw service in Porpoise & Oberon class diesel-electric conventional submarines, a Swiftsure-class nuclear powered hunter-killer submarine and a Resolution-class nuclear powered Polaris ballistic missile submarine during a submarine career that spanned twenty-one years and six of the seven seas. He commanded an Australian Oberon-class conventional submarine, HMAS Oxley, during a two year exchange service appointment, and was second-in-command of the Polaris submarine HMS Revenge.
Although the theme of THEY COME UNSEEN is naval warfare it is intended to provide light-hearted and enjoyable gameplay for all.
