Hehe...was just reminded of a French sub a few years back...was "covertly" tailing a freighter...until it turned suddenly (the freighter captain was on to him) and the commander rammed right up his clacker! Yes...the commander was sacked within days.
Well if a skipper could actually use that sub and use it as a Trojan to invade a city, he'd actually be promoted.
Do not forget the Soviet sub that actually collided with a Nimitz class carrier in the Caribbean during the cold war. Less one think the skipper was crazy "the carrier's impenetrable 200 mile radius screen" was totally unaware of the sub !!!!! I feel eternally lucky to have studied and taught in Italy for a considerable time. Advertising is truly an art form there as is life itself. TOS, I just sent some friends to stay in your neighborhood for a week. They thought they had died and gone to heaven. Gaines
Interesting...Our Collins class subs have photographed the props of most of your aircraft carriers...hehehe....
one of our good ol Collins evaded an entire US fleet in RIMPAC this year and "sunk" a US Carrier, for the send out they played 'i come from a land down under' by men at work thru the sonar :uboot:
Gotta love us Aussies I think one time they even played Acca Dacca over the sub till just before the war games then shut it all off, Confused the Yanks
Our Aussies know how to have fun when it comes to war games, i hear so many stories of our navy guys having fun with the yanks when they are on excersise
All above board im sure... "in the Navy!...you can get a strange disease... In the Navy!...you can take it on your knees..." Ill stop there i think.
we had to do a course wit a bunch of Navy cadets once, it was quite fun because all the marching songs we had basicly took the piss out of the navy and the army
