Default My WO is a wuss

Slightly rough seas and heavy rain, my WO is a total wuss and can't stand the weather. Should probably 86 him and make one of the other watch crew the WO since they aren't afraid of the weather:

A previous encounter with the Rodney. Both periscopes destroyed by depth charges, instead of escaping I opted for a death or glory quick surface fire and dive.


The boat was destroyed before the first torpedo detonated

.........

umm, that was very gutsy and incredibly stupid, couldn't you at least have waited till it got dark for your death or glory charge?

Now you'll never know if you took Rodney down to the briny deep with you, although guessing from that spread of eels I think you did...

You also should have fired a salvo depending on the sonar.
From that close you can't miss.

Looking at the salvo, 5 bucks says that Rodney would have sunked.

Default Iceberg out of routes? This is a english idea?

The Habbakuk Project

HABBAKUK: GEOFFREY PYKE'S ICEBERG AIR

Habbakuk was the idea of a scientist called Geoffrey Pyke. His idea was that because ice was unsinkable, the berg ships would be insulated and impervious to bomb and torpedo attacks. They would be easy to repair as water only had to be poured into holes and frozen, thus making the ship whole. The ships would be cheap to make so that a vast number could be made. The ships could be up to 4000 feet long, 600 feet wide and 130 feet in depth. They could be used to carry aircraft to protect shipping in the mid-Atlantic, since the aircraft would be able to operate at shorter ranges and could be used for an invasion force base. He christened the idea (misspelling the name in the process) after the words from Habakkuk, the Old Testament prophet: “Behold ye among the heathen, and regard and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told to you.” Hab. 1:5
