Hello i am Lt. West,
Does anyone on subsim belive in cursed ships for example the number 13 whats so bad about that titanic didnt even have a cabin number 13! And there is always the question about christining.Newly constructed ships there is evidence that bad things happen to boats that were chrissened like K-19 the russian submarine which had a reactor malfunction and most the crew died of radation poisoning.(watch the movie K-19 the widowmaker if you havent already its awesome!!!)The K-19 was christened but the bottle bounced off because a wimpy little girl threw it and she wasn't strong enough.Then there is the Titanic made by White star lines and sank on april 14th 1912 killing over 1000 people on board.The thing is white star never christened there ships. Then there is the titanic's sister ship the Britanic, she was converted into a hospital ship in World War 1 and was sunk by a mine on November 21st 1916 of the greek island of Kea in the Kea channel.
So the question is should we christen our boats if we dont will she be cursed and what if the bottle bounces off?
