They will get my Type VIIb when they pry my cold dead fingers from the periscope.

Damn straight, if I get retired I'm putting a request in for a position as ships cook aboard my beloved U-47. How could I turn her over to somebody else? it's my U-boat. MINE!!!!! I'm not sharing!!

Protip: once you've peed on the conning tower ladder, the ship is permanently marked as yours and they can't take it away from you. It's a longstanding naval tradition, kind of like rum and sodomy.*

*Sodomy is not officially endorsed as a method of laying permanent claim to crew members, and may actually result in increasingly urgent requests for transfer.

There is so much blood and DNA of mine in my trusty U-83 VIIB that we are practically related. If they retire me they have to retire it and give it to me as my pleasure yacht.
