Default Can the American's Build a Ship or What!

Okay okay, I know its Sept 1940 and the US isn't in the war as of yet, but I couldn't resist sinking a large merchant.

I put two shots into her, and fired a few shells at her as well, and just as they hoped during the Titanic sinking, suddenly there was an answer to their prayers.

I finally left the scene know that all were going to be safe.

Those damn yankees know how to build a boat!



Also, a couple shots for your viewing pleasure!

That's a pretty rusty boat. Who made the skin?

Cork would be useful to build a last minute raft.
