Sounds like the CE has his still up and running again......I can allways tell when he's drunk, cause he's allways a couple of degrees off when I call for a course change.

Ah-HAH! I knew they were using wax bananas to make a mold for the key! There'll be no shore leave for eight patrols!

MUTINY! MUTINY! Take him away, boys - he'll be feeding the crabs by noon!


In uttering a reprobation
to any British tar
I try to speak with moderation
but you have gone too far.
I'm very sorry to disparage
a humble foremast lad
But to doubt one's b'loved's captain's courage--
Why, damme, it's too bad!

It's because they are...BANANNA PHONES DA DA DA DA DA! BANANNA PHONES DA DA DA DA! THEY COME IN BUNCHES! DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA!

My next question was going to be how do you stay sane after 60 days on patrol, but clearly I can save my breath.

I accidentally promoted my WO before I realized I had not yet attained that particular rank. And wasn't HE mister know-it-all until I recieved my own promotion two patrols later.

Talk about insolent looks from the crew. You guys have no idea.
It's just that I don't think much about things like rank. I like to think we are all equals on my boat in our glorious war effort. I encourage everyone to join in a "big hug!" after each ship sinking. And I try to have some "circle time stories" in the conning tower each day when the seas aren't too rough.

These - along with sharing a plush toy or snuggle-blanket with the men who are having trouble sleeping - have all been very good ideas.

But promoting the WO ahead of me, bad, bad, bad.

My crew enjoys "Schnitzel night" tuesday on my boat and love it. I've had no mutinous or insolent behavior from my men. Maybe you should give it a try.


P.S. Remember to include mustard in your provisions. I tell ya, I learned THAT lesson the hard way! Whooooo!

Hmmmm... it's not so easy to get the crew happy... :hmm:

Last week I tried to organice the "U-boat Champions League" and was a total failure:
Many dials broken by the ball, a lot of injuries against the scope mast, the pipes, hatches... and the referee was launched from tube one for not seeing an off-side...

I tried hockey night when I was still commanding a type II. It was a disaster. We lost our chief engineer to a skate blade which severed his jugular. That's when I decided we would have no theme nights on the boat.

(I caught my navigator trying to smuggle a pachisi board on the boat, but I told him in no uncertain terms that if he ever tries anything like that again, he'll find himself in charge of the motorboats in Kiel harbour so fast his Kopf will spin)

I've brought twenty gallons of ketchup (Heinz, of course). Will that do?

What? This is a game to you? This is serious business, life and death - I still haven't found the culprit what ate my strawberries

You see? This is exactly what I'm talking about. Spare the rod, spoil the child

They DID warn that SHIII would take up a lot of one's time, but reading what Skubber wrote... There seems to be a step beyond 1xTC warfare. :rotfl:
