In WW1 the Tribal class destroyer HMS Nubian had her bow wrecked by a torpedo, but survived. Later another of the type, HMS Zulu, had her stern destroyed by a mine. Even though not true sisters, and in spite of a 3-1/2 inch difference in beam, the two were mated together and named HMS Zubian.

Crikey!! It's ages since I last saw reference to the old Zubi....I am very impressed Steve :yeah:

The navel based great grandad to the cut and shut ford cortina!

So you decided to get SH3 commander, Legionary.
It's really awesome isn't it? :rock:

How many torps would that take to go down?

It was a good day to be at sea... we had already sent a small merchant boat to the bottom of "der channel". While watching the fruits of our deeds, we were spotted by a small boat on patrol. We opened fire as it closed in...

Not to be ran off by a puny little patrol boat we dove after striking a few good shots to the vessel. So we ran, zigzagging across the english channel for around 7 hours only to find this same Elco Torpedo boat... a few hundred meters out waiting for us and still aflame.

I thought it best to put an end to this nonsense and opened fire with the deck gun

After duking it out and getting chewed up a little bit (this boat got the best of my ego and I couldnt "just let it go"), she finally gave up and slowly joined her sister in the locker.

I laughed to myself and thought of the words of Grand Mof Tarken (Star Wars: A NEW HOPE) saying "What? Evacuate? at our moment of triumph? Surely you overestimate their chances..."

@ mcf1: That is positively brilliant!:rock::rotfl:

One word: QUALITY:rotfl:.

Truly original. Well done, sir.

yea... lol, that would set the tonnage record.

Whatever you do, don't fire on it. If that thing starts zig-zagging there'll be hell to pay on the oceans.

How do I apply for Frequent Flyer Air-Miles?
 

How you managed this!:o

A really bad storm. I haven't done anything to the image, I just went to external view to see why I couldn't get over 5kts, even at flank. If you look at the image, I'm showing 0kts. That was at ⅔ ahead. Then the boat was lifted by the swell and became a hovercraft for a little while. I gave up in the end and went submerged, at least I could manage 2kts that way!

A Flash from the Past
 

Remember the times I was into Sh3 (and still are) and just loved to make hilarious stuff? Apparently, I found some of the stuff hiding in my old Photobucket account.

Once I get my DVD driver to accept my Silent Hunter 3 disc, I will start going all U-boat Kapitäen and keep doing stuff. I might be more active on here, but you never know.
