Little did we know that the first primitive nuclear-powered subs were made during late 1944...

Goin 2 Hawaii, BRB.

It's the ole flank speed then 50 rpm trick. :D

I find that a Beano before meals usually takes care of this sort of thing. :O:

He's a submarine wannabe. Now he can see you...and use his guns on you.

It really is amusing what the AI will do to avoid hitting you.

AHEM! Neither of you can blame Bernard for this. Red is LEFT, green is right.

Please report to BdU immediately.

Not when returning to port from the ocean...

Yeah, you gotta be able to go the other way eventually. :O::D

I can't find any solid references ATM, but the "Red Right Returning" is US and its territories only - the rest of the world is reversed (of course!). And the Red part is fairly new - it used to be black and green bouys, but they were too hard to distinguish, so the black was changed to red in the '70's - I think. It took a while for the changeover to be completed. They also went to 'can" and "nun" types as well.

However this is all moot - in the war era this was not only the wrong scheme, invariably one of the first wartime acts of any belligerant was to remove all such aids to navigation so as to deny their use to the enemy.

...another thing we Americans can't get right apparently, that and the metric system. (I hate the standard system!)

But yeah, I guess it would be a smart move to remove all the navigation buoys.
