2 cans of Bud? They'd be lucky to get to get Buckhorn, or Hamms in a steel can out there! Maybe even Schlitz!

Ask Mr. Firewall! He has good experience, to handle this kind of situations.

Here, this'd be about right:

ACME had their hands in everything. Just ask Wile E. Coyote.

The United States Navy does not allow alcohol rations for the crew on board its ships. Sorry.

Maybe not rations for crew, but I've read many times of skippers breaking out the "depth charge medicine" after an attack, or using "medical supplies" to celebrate after an attack.

I think coming out of the attack alive was reward enough most of the time. If you were stationed at pearl you got to go to the "Hotel" after your patrol. Beer was commen everywhere exept aboard the boat, however, I comepletly understand Delta 6 and his rewarding the crew with anything available on board the boat to give the men kudos for a job well done.

Capt. Morgan!! It looks like Silent Hunter 6 is going to be an extemely exiting game!! Does the girl come stock with the game or is she a mod??

Happy New Year

Eugene Fluckey of Barb was known to "splice the main brace" after an successful attack, always had several cases of beer on board. He was also an ego case.
