1955? I knew somebody forgot to tell Prien that the war was over!

Maybe this will be the start for a new classical music genre: the sub opera. The title could be "The diving Dutchman". :D

And here I thought we were too classy to use innuendo in thread titles :DL

You know, it must have been about midnight when I made this thread...goes to show how awake I am that I never even noticed the innuendo, or perhaps my mind is a little less dirty than some? :03:

Immediately thought it was a German torpedo - then I realized that any German would fired a torpedo in the English Channel would be dead within hours. :dead:

Mk 9 huh? That's a surface ship torpedo that was designed in the 1930s. Sort of interesting...

As the MOD say's "If it worked in 1930's, why replace it?":haha:

I'm wondering if it would also have a serial number on it which would identify which vessel it was issued to?

I shouldn't imagine they'd want to publish that sort of information for fear of causing embarrassment to the senior service.
