Not to be confused with Ouzo which is probably hard to find in the Pacific during the war anyway.

If it used the T key, and the weapons management (missing the ammo for your guns) was back on the I key. I think people would be more willing to use it. Hell even I was hammering T there for a while expecting it to the TBT, even though I was used to U in SH3.

Nah, UZO sounds so much cooler, a bit like UZI...

Calling a TBT an UZO is as dumb as playing SH4 in metric as a few seem to be doing.

Not far wrong. The original British escort boats were called 'Torpedo-Boat Destroyers', since they were designed to protect the fleets from the small steam-powered torpedo boats, which were the biggest danger. The original TBDs were renamed 'Destroyers' in 1912.

Strange. In my job, that acronym means 'To Be Determined'.
