If the deck gun crew can't hit the broad side of a barn at 400m, it's because Bernard is either firing the thing himself or was in charge of maintaining the weapon (or both).
If a destroyer manages to sneak up behind you while you're watching that burning tanker go down, it's because Bernard was the watch officer on duty.
And if you find yourself sailing off the coast of Africa when you should be off the coast of Germany... well, you guessed it. Navigator Bernard, at your service! |
Ironically, its not even a long story.
Ironic because it is the base of this website.
It was a story that Dowly put up, oh gosh, 4 or 5 years ago?
