You wake up in the morning still half asleep,and can hear the birds outside your window.You think to yourself "finally,we are close to land,and that means home"

I ussually think of that when I spot a ship sunbathing in a beach, hehe

Guilty of that. I actually make a targeting solution. There were a couple of juicy oil tankers chugging past the bay here in Wales.

They werent even zigzagging

Hundreds of cargo ships — some up to 300,000 tons...

How many can I sink with my deck gun

If you went back in time and told one of the old salts that we had 300,000 tonners, do you think they would even believe you?

We could hit them all at once and take them as prize ships. Imagine the look on the port official at Wilhelmshaven when we report in with our booty, not to mention the WWII U-boat in the lead.

You know, given all the fuss about piracy we were getting last year they probably SHOULD start escorting the stupid things! LOL

When i get home after a long days work and drive down to my apartment by the sea here in Dublin bay, i check out all the idling ships in the bay either waiting to enter Dublin port or taking sanctuary from impending bad weather, and always try to guesstimate their tonnage.

Once this is done I then remind myself that it would be too shallow for a feasible attack, too close to land for comfort and then I consider again; hmmm, Irish navy is hardly worth worrying about. So its upstairs and load up SH3!!

Still never enough SH3 can be had in my books though!

Well i was on a ship 3 years ago for a practice and every time i was on my watch on the bridge, especially at night i was just wondering how anyone could have seen small stiking out of the water steel tube (periscope).

And the other thing is whenever we came across another ship i just made some guesses for a solution.(on radar however it is quite easy, seeing the ships speed ,course and our bearing to it

Republic of Ireland was neutral in ww2 anyway, so it wouldn't have mattered, none of thsoe ships would count!
