Brixmis was a British army unit tasked with locating items of interest in East Germany.Other nations did similar things and one US officer was shot dead trying to enter a Soviet tank garage.

I applaud the discussion of some NAVAL-related items for a change. Who would have imagined it on a site like, oh I don't know, SubSim.com?

More of this, please.

I see your point...:up:

I meant military-related, not just naval. This was not a slight at Linton, rather, it was praise.
