Just what exactly is your boat doing anyway?
Avoiding the enemy? Skulking off to patrol an area where
you may not site another ship at all? What will the grand kids think?
Choose the time and place to better enhance your odds of success if you can, but don't avoid the encounter altogether. You mustn't allow the enemy to pass unmolested to later attempt his own mischief elsewhere.
"Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!" - Admiral Farragut
<<== This guy knew not the meaning of fear!
Quote:
All the highest ranks in the Navy -- rear admiral, vice admiral, and admiral of the Navy -- were created for just one man, the inimitable David Glasgow Farragut, hero of the Battle of Mobile Bay and other sea encounters.
