Perhaps it's like an Ice carrier, only a submarine. Us Canadians are pretty crafty...

Hehe... are you reffering to this crazy project...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Habakkuk

Though it was a british guy that thought it up, which makes sense, you would have to be a little eccentric to come up with something like this. But it was going to be built in canada, we had plenty of pulp.

I sunk a UK sub once, it took a long time to sink but I only had to use one torp...

Weird.

Great story about the habakkuk. A bit crazy, but great!

Strange... Only once i encountered an S-sub and i got it down pretty fast...
I just got behind it, approached, blew up its flak guns and the rest was a piece of cake.

I "sank" one with around 12 rounds of deck gun ammo. I got the credit for it, but it didn't go under the waves!
