Photo was taken by the USS trigger.

At this point all i see is someone hyping uboats ( as if they needed more hype) and downplaying the accomplishments of US subs by emphasizing Gunther Priens penetration of Skapa flow, and minimalizing the areas US subs penetrated. You have a picture of a ship, at anchor with the F'ing jungle behind it being torpedod, for christ sakes. For all intents in purposes, its a damn harbor, SHips go their, they lower their anchors, and load or unload freight.

And regardless of how you want to define what a damn harbor is, fact remains, that "harbor raiding" however you want to define it, was predominatly a pacific theater activty if one was to compare sub theaters. I dont recall of hearing stories of german uboats accidently torpedoing piers and sinking busses or cranes.

In sum...... whatever.

Yes im pissed off today, for reasons not related to SH4, but im all to eager to vent it seems.
