In WW1 the Tribal class destroyer HMS Nubian had her bow wrecked by a torpedo, but survived. Later another of the type, HMS Zulu, had her stern destroyed by a mine. Even though not true sisters, and in spite of a 3-1/2 inch difference in beam, the two were mated together and named HMS Zubian.

So you decided to get SH3 commander, Legionary.
It's really awesome isn't it?

How many torps would that take to go down?

It was a good day to be at sea... we had already sent a small merchant boat to the bottom of "der channel". While watching the fruits of our deeds, we were spotted by a small boat on patrol. We opened fire as it closed in...

Not to be ran off by a puny little patrol boat we dove after striking a few good shots to the vessel. So we ran, zigzagging across the english channel for around 7 hours only to find this same Elco Torpedo boat... a few hundred meters out waiting for us and still aflame.

I thought it best to put an end to this nonsense and opened fire with the deck gun

After duking it out and getting chewed up a little bit (this boat got the best of my ego and I couldnt "just let it go"), she finally gave up and slowly joined her sister in the locker.

I laughed to myself and thought of the words of Grand Mof Tarken (Star Wars: A NEW HOPE) saying "What? Evacuate? at our moment of triumph? Surely you overestimate their chances..."

Whatever you do, don't fire on it. If that thing starts zig-zagging there'll be hell to pay on the oceans.
