It’s not just the military aspect of sinking your same country’s shipping, sometimes; I have had occasions where it hit me that I was sinking American merchant shipping and my late father was an American merchant marine in WWII; it is sometimes an eerie feeling. The great irony of his life is that he survived WWII duty only to be among the crew taken by the Cambodians on the S.S. Mayaguez at the end of the Vietnam war.
