Look ... up in the sky

It's a bird, it's a plane, no . . . . . it's a LIFEBOAT!!

This is not a bug, and I wish I had a screen shot for you. But while testing the RFB changes, I went to an outside view to watch the destroyer drop his DC's, and he cruised right past the lifeboat from the other DD I sank.

Dropped one of his DC's right by the lifeboat and when it exploded, it launched the lifeboat several hudred yards at least.

Should've gotten 3 points for it too, because the boat flew between the masts of a cruiser as it went hurtling to destinations unkown. Looked like a good field goal to me.

One of the funniest things I've seen in the game so far.

I've seen the same thing with a sampan. A friend was with me at the time, and we couldn't stop laughing. It went flying in to the air, hurtled back to the sea bottom (only 100 ft) and back up to surface.
