Man, this didn't even get so much as a chuckle!

I was too short of time to reply last time, but it does deserve at least that: it is funny.

Because I love trivia it has to be the British subs H-28 and X-1.

H-28 is the only submarine to have made war patrols in both World Wars.

X-1 (A U-Cruiser) is the only RN vessel to have been designed, built, commissioned, payed off and scraped entirely between the two World Wars.

Actually, she had to surface once to take off a crewman.

I made 5 patrols and came back alive. So I consider this mine as a favorite. Wouldn't you do the same?
