Disney tune? Oh, did they use it in Little Mermaid or something?
Lennon and McCartney, sung by Ringo on Abbey Road.

Octopus's Garden...by The Beatles 1969 ....2nd song written by Ringo... ...we never dreamed back in the hazy dazy 60's that the Beatles were so SH series prescient... Extract and reorder certain lyrics from that tune and they could well serve as any submariner's theme song I think...

If you can believe George:
Harrison commented: "'Octopus's Garden' is Ringo's song. It's only the second song Ringo has ever written, mind you, and it's lovely." Ringo's first solo composition had been "Don't Pass Me By" on The Beatles album. He added that the song gets very deep into your consciousness "because it's so peaceful. I suppose Ringo is writing cosmic songs these days without even realizing it. But the next time I'm jamming and RS drops in I'll ask him.... just to make sure... I wonder though just how cosmic Geroge would have thought it if he had actually been aware of how smoothly the lyrics dovetails with the reality of submarine warriors's world? ...all safe and warm..below the storm...I'd like to be under the sea...

Sir Hendrik,
Did you create that image, if so what did you use?

I intercepted a merchant convoy escorted by several destroyers. My usual strategy is to get in close to my intended targets and plant myself somewhere in the middle of the convoy, since once I've been made, the destroyers would have to wait for all of the merchant ships to get out of the way before they can drop depth charges on me.
This time, I start hearing pings just as I finalized my firing solution. I targeted two large composite freighters (or something or other), plugging three into each. The pings start getting closer and closer, but I was confident that I could crash-dive to a safe depth before the destroyers could do any real damage (the only thing I have the ego to admit, I'm a master of evasion. My skills as a hunter however, leave much to be desired). Once I fired the last of my torpedoes, I briefly scan the horizon with my periscope. However, I discovered that a destroyer was literally RIGHT ON TOP OF ME. I was still at 12 metres depth and the destroyer just ran its hull right on my boat's conning tower. The boat was rocked violently, but surprisingly, there wasn't a whole lot of damage. It then occured to me that the distinct sound of depth charges being deployed and detonated were absent, so, I decided to take a look at what happened using the free camera. As it turned out, the Japanese destroyer was on the wrong end of that collision, as its hull apparently took a whole lot more damage than my sub did. Before you know it, the words: "Enemy Unit Destroyed" appeared on my message log and the destroyer was nosediving into the sea. |
