Default Maybe I'm working my boys to hard...

Captain's log, june 28. 1942.

Dear log, I fear for the sanity of myself and my crew.
Today I was standing on the bridge in my regular uniform (bathrobe and slippers) plotting something resembling a plan to infiltrate the harbour of Osaka.
The crew seemed to be in their usual mood, standing around tinkering with their doodads and thingamagigs, occasionally throwing glances filled with disbelief and disgust my way. After all, here I was, a man with no knowledge of boats, submarines, oceans or any thing even remotely nautical, standing on the bridge wearing a bathrobe and slippers giving them orders.
SNAFU, as they say.

However, today something seemed even more off.
I couldn't quite put my finger on it before I asked my helmsman (Bob) "Where are the rest og my loyal subjects?" and he coldly replied "They're outside, sir".
"Outside?!" I screemed at his staring face, "But we're at a depth of 148 feet!".
Bob blinked and said:
"They said they needed a change of scenery, sir".

I waved my arms, screamed some more, and jumped around for a while (which you mustn't do in a bathrobe) but the rest of my crew appeared to be unaffected by what was taking place.
I retreated to my quarters and remained there for the rest of the day, when the next shift goes on I'll grab something to eat from the mess.

If we make it back to Pearl Harbour I'm going to request a transfer.

Starboard lookout is holding his binoculars backwards, a sure sign they've been draining the torpedoes.....

I keep strict watch over all the fish juice, it goes straight into the Captain's special brew. And the Captain's special brew goes straight into the captain, without exception

Please convert your pictures to jpeg before posting them in the future. Png format is very slow loading and takes up a lot of bandwidth.

Just between upper and lower bridge deck, there is a small air pocket. I am sure this is where your crew supply themselves with oxygene when submerged. Leave your slippers there next time, and they will never make use of it again.

Btw, I like your command style. It's like mine. In fact I am well known for for standing with my arms around the periscope, yelling: Oh my god, oh my god... We are never going to survive this! There are japs everywhere!

Untill my second in command discretely pads my shoulder and say: Captain... We are ashore. This is a museum ship.

I know that. But have you noticed where those tourists over there come from? Have you?

Oh my god, oh my god, we are never going to survive this!

Hallo hallo, takker så meget! Lurer på om noen vil merke at det jeg skriver her er noe helt annet enn det jeg har skrevet i oversettelsen?

(Hello hello, thank you very much! I must say that your command style appeals to me, have you ever considered writing a book about it?)
