Bloody insolent mutineers...

[Kissaki]

Why is the helmsman shooshing me when we're running silent? Oh yes, I've seen the crew giving me impudent looks from time to time. I'm the skipper, dammit! You don't shoosh me, I shoosh you!

But I'll get them back. I've intentionally left the food out, so they'll have nothing but rotten and moldy food by the end of the patrol. Then we'll see who's laughing. Hah!


Incidentally, how do the bananas manage to stay ripe even after 60 days on patrol? And how come they call me "KaLeun"... even if it's plain to everyone with eyes that I'm merely a Lt. Sr.?

And am I the only one who refuses to promote his sub-lieutenants to Lt. Jr. until I have myself reached Sr. rank?


Sorry, just feeling a bit philosophical. It's almost lunch.

Take a deep breath and go to your secret hiding place and have a Becks. :|\

Oh yes, Fähnrich Stempel thinks I don't know about his secret stash, but he'll see. As penalty for smuggling aboard liquor, I'll confiscate his dirty magazines as well. If he utters even a word of complaint, I'll have him swabbing the decks before and after each trim dive. I will have discipline aboard my boat! :hulk:

[FERdeBOER]

Yes, that bloody insolents robotic looks of the crew... :stare:

Talking of other things, the sub sommanders are allways considered "kaptains" despite his true rank.

So they really were called "Herr Kaleun" regardless of actual rank? I could understand "Kapitän" but "Kapitänleutnant" seems awfully specific..

[FERdeBOER]

You're right.

In fact, my crew calls me "The torps waster". I don't know why, because is obvious that is needed 3 torps for a coastall merchan at 5 knots ;)

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Have you ever noticed that when you fly around the control room in Shift+F2 Camera mode... the crew's eyes follow you?

Creepy. :dead:

I'm missing a 1/2 cup of strawberries!!! :hulk:

When was someone going to inform me of this function???? :huh:

Someone's going to PAY! And I'm looking at you, Stempel!

The very captain I'm modelling my carreer on :yep:

I know exactly how they did it, too. They're smart, but they won't out-fox me. They made a key, I know they did. I had all keys confiscated and accounted for, and the fact that I didn't find that key conclusively prooves they did make one and hid it. Probably threw it overboard when they knew I was on to them.

Pitooie!?! Arggg...wax bananas!! Whatdayamean, you're making candles?

Ah-HAH! I knew they were using wax bananas to make a mold for the key! There'll be no shore leave for eight patrols! :x

Sounds like the CE has his still up and running again......I can allways tell when he's drunk, cause he's allways a couple of degrees off when I call for a course change. :nope:

In uttering a reprobation
to any British tar
I try to speak with moderation
but you have gone too far.
I'm very sorry to disparage
a humble foremast lad
But to doubt one's b'loved's captain's courage--
Why, damme, it's too bad! :nope:

It's because they are...BANANNA PHONES DA DA DA DA DA! BANANNA PHONES DA DA DA DA! THEY COME IN BUNCHES! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA! :rock:

My next question was going to be how do you stay sane after 60 days on patrol, but clearly I can save my breath. :roll:

I accidentally promoted my WO before I realized I had not yet attained that particular rank. And wasn't HE mister know-it-all until I recieved my own promotion two patrols later.

Talk about insolent looks from the crew. You guys have no idea.
It's just that I don't think much about things like rank. I like to think we are all equals on my boat in our glorious war effort. I encourage everyone to join in a "big hug!" after each ship sinking. :lol: And I try to have some "circle time stories" in the conning tower each day when the seas aren't too rough.

These - along with sharing a plush toy or snuggle-blanket with the men who are having trouble sleeping - have all been very good ideas.

But promoting the WO ahead of me, bad, bad, bad.

[BaronVonSchnitzel]

My crew enjoys "Schnitzel night" tuesday on my boat and love it. I've had no mutinous or insolent behavior from my men. Maybe you should give it a try.


P.S. Remember to include mustard in your provisions. I tell ya, I learned THAT lesson the hard way! Whooooo! :oops:

[FERdeBOER]

Hmmmm... it's not so easy to get the crew happy... :hmm:

Last week I tried to organice the "U-boat Champions League" and was a total failure:
Many dials broken by the ball, a lot of injuries against the scope mast, the pipes, hatches... and the referee was launched from tube one for not seeing an off-side... :dead:

I tried hockey night when I was still commanding a type II. It was a disaster. We lost our chief engineer to a skate blade which severed his jugular. That's when I decided we would have no theme nights on the boat.

(I caught my navigator trying to smuggle a pachisi board on the boat, but I told him in no uncertain terms that if he ever tries anything like that again, he'll find himself in charge of the motorboats in Kiel harbour so fast his Kopf will spin)

I've brought twenty gallons of ketchup (Heinz, of course). Will that do?

You see? This is exactly what I'm talking about. Spare the rod, spoil the child :nope:

They DID warn that SHIII would take up a lot of one's time, but reading what Skubber wrote... There seems to be a step beyond 1xTC warfare. :rotfl:
