Don't use them! They're evil!

They sink subs! Not boats!

Ha, ha, haa, just because you fired two at yourself...

Accoustic Torpedo 101 - don't make any noise once they're loose




Disclaimer - I have yet to use an accoustic eel, so this may come to bite me!

Edit - Welcome aboard, sorry, I forgot to mention that part.

Whooo... subs are boats.

I once, in my Seaman Apprentice days, asked a former COB of the USS Ethan Allen what is was like to serve on such a "ship." He glared and said "Submarines are boats. Not ships. And boats are boats. And ships are targets."

I didn't have the guts to point that the Allen was a ballistic missile platform and, so, unlikely to target ships.

But I did learn that if you think a sub is not a boat, submariners get real in your face.
