Well, thank you Steve...

Actually, destroyers were (and still are I think) the fastest anf most agile machines, taking in account their weight and dimensions. I once spoke with a venerable gentleman who serverd on an american destroyer in the Royal Navy, and amongst other things, he told me that when a ship blew up in their convoy, or the alarm was given that a submarine was in the area, you could not stand on you feet on the deck when the ship was accelerating to full ahead and zigzaging in the same time.


LE...thank Lord I'm not a bilge rat anymore )
