Damn! I stay away for less then 6 months and two lady-captains appeared on this forum? That's an improvement!

We had a nun here for a while, but I haven't seen her lately. :D

Which two? Donna's new, but ?

Unless, as Torplexed said, you meant Sister Julie?

Armistead 04-15-12 11:22 PM

Donna is really Ted Nugent.......I know that for a fact......:yeah:

Sailor Steve 04-16-12 08:09 AM

:o

Who knew?

I wonder if Donna even knows who Ted Nugent is. She's five years younger than my youngest kid.

Unless of course she really is Ted Nugent.
:rotfl2:

There was also a 'she-wolf' posting just there, so that accounts for the second one. Of course that could also be an alias for some other weirdo guitarrist... :hmmm:

Dave Mustaine...? Weirdo enough, and he's written a song called She Wolf! :haha:

Sailor Steve 04-16-12 01:08 PM

She-Wolf has also been a registered member here since 2007.

I developed a habbit of finishing off damaged merchants with the deck gun back in my "Aces of The Deep" days: That has turned out to be a really bad idea in the pacific, as just about any Japanese ship can match or beat my deck gun's firepower. In a sense they're all Q-boats!

There was a thread here that linked to 1944 Navy doctorine on submarine warfare. The doctorine made it clear that the torpedo was the primary weapon and discouraged the use of deck guns and AA except as a last resort.
Quote:

Section 6
Defense Against Small Surface Craft

  1. The offensive weapons of a submarine are torpedoes, mines, and guns. Submergence in time to avoid detection or attack, or both, is the best and therefore the primary means of defense. Evasion by use of high speed on the surface at night or in low visibility is preferable. Submarines will avoid engagement with aircraft when possible to do so.
  2. Unless the submarine is unable to dive, combatant ships should not be engaged by gunfire, except they be of the small patrol type (more dangerous because of their depth charges than because of their guns), definitely preventing the accomplishment of a vital mission. In the latter case, the probable chance and relative advantage of possible destruction of the patrol vessel must be weighed against the disclosure of the submarine's presence or position, and the probable damage that may be received. Gun attacks on important merchant vessels will normally not be made, as the submarine will usually find itself out-gunned and at a disadvantage. When engaging surface targets, endeavor to do so as a surprise and from a position that will be poorly protected by lookouts and where the minimum number of enemy guns can bear. Engage on bearings that will permit the best service to own guns.

Now that you mention it, I've never seen them photographed together. Donna has described herself as an "aggressive hunter" on more than one occasion. The same is true with Ted.

Donna has been silent lately, and then there's this:

Went back to the straits - What a surprise when the Maru came searching for me with active sonar! And, although they weren't apparent from an external view, she fires Y guns in addition to the stern-rolled DCs. She missed me (barely) on her first pass, inflicting moderate damage. As she went by I went to ahead-flank, turned away from her stern and kept turning to port, seeing that that was what she did too. As she came around to about 210 degrees relative and the range hit 505 yards, I let her have 3 MK14 on shallowest depth setting, high-speed, and magnetic detonators. One passed underneath her, one was a dud, but the 3rd blew her bottom out and she quickly sank. I thought I was home free until the companion, that turned out to be Patrol Boat (!) rolled right over me and destroyed USS Balao in one pass. Beware the Bungo Strait, Captains! Thar be more than whales there!

Good point. Almost every single japanese merchant has some teeth to show...

She-Wolf 04-24-12 08:19 AM

I thought this thread had died a natural death but then come back to find fellas intriguing about female identities. :hmmm:

I can assure you that both Donna and She-Wolf are 100% real live ladies - no weird or suspicious characters lurking here, guitarist or otherwise - I can't speak for Donna, but I have probably been around the Subsim forums longer'n a good few of you boys. There also used to be a lady called Penny ( I think).

Sailor Steve 04-24-12 08:55 AM

Well, the original lady subsimmer was Sharkstooth, and I and several others can vouch for her. We also had The Avon Lady for awhile, and of course besides yourself and Donna there is SheGeek72 and of course Frau Kaleun. "Penny" was Penelope Grey, and that's not entirely clear, but it seems likely that "she" was indeed a fraud.

I'm sure I'm missing a few.

She-Wolf 04-24-12 09:14 AM

Oh, I am sad to think Penny was a fraud, she was ( is?) so, well, ladylike.... I started off on Subsim under another name, but got embarrassed by talking to chaps who posted comments thinking I was another chap, and would themselves have been embarrassed, I think, had they realised I was not, so decided I had to make my gender clear... :)

"how" that fact could have been verified would sure have made for a good anecdote.

Sailor Steve 04-24-12 12:05 PM

It's not verified. Let's just say somebody did some investigating and things didn't add up.

There are certainly flags that are indicators of impersonators (hmmm, that rhymes:D). Police use them all the time while lurking chat rooms in search of pedophiles. The same methods can be used to determine if someone is (possibly) a male or female, or the same person using two different screen names. Verifying it is a little more involved and beyond the abilities of the average web surfer, but there are certainly common flags that would raise a reasonable person's suspicion.;)

Yeah, I know. But in my mind, it could have happened in a 'funnier' way... :arrgh!:

Oops, OK, I think I get it now. You were hoping for some physical evidence?:haha:

Funny, I onced posed as a woman on another sub forum......but Wern exposed me, so I came out with the truth and they all forgave me years ago.....I prolly should've shaved better before I posted that pic of me in a wig and dress.....but hey, I've seen a few women that needed to shave.

I have a friend who did the same, only in a chat room, back before there were forums. He told me he only made a couple of posts just to show his kids how they couldn't trust people they didn't know. He also said that until they actually saw him do it they didn't believe the messages were from him.
