Privateer took the words right out of my mouth (luckily he didn't take my tongue as well). Read Blair's U-Boat books or Silent Victory and see how many 'confirmed' sinkings were reversed later. I sometimes tell myself that I filed a report and was given it back for revision. "SS Wallflower, which you reported sinking? She sailed into Bristol three days ago."

I LIKE that one! I'm going to have to change mine to read like that. Of course "She's going down!" was a great improvement over "Enemy unit sunk."
Just like "Not so long ago..." is much better than "Initializing..."
