I was watching a program on the Travel channel about taking a cruise. It was about the making of and launching of the Queen Mary II from St. Nazaire in France...and when they flew the British naval flag, the same one that is in our awesome game, I immediately saw that flag flying....at the bottom of the ocean. She weighed over 100 tons...tons of renown.

All these have happened and/or do happen to me:

When you hear an ASDIC ping without there being any microwaves or anything going. (Happened this morning, heard it as clear as a bell, made me flinch :oops: No idea why, perhaps it was because of the pounding I took last night)

When you hum, whistle or sing Uboat songs, such as J'attrandei or my recent favourite, Das Uboot Lied.

When you hear a prop aircraft and want to hide and/or shout "Flugzeug gesehen!" (or something similar)

When you respond to people asking you to do something with "Ja wohl Herr Kaleun."

When you spot a ship, and mutter "Schiff gesehen!" under your breath, then start estimating tonnage, range, AOB. :lol:
