Have you ever filled a sub with helium as a prank?

As a military man you kill babies, since you're in a submarine do you find it easier to drown them or shoot a torpedo at them?

Also, what non fiction books are a must for anyone interested in submarines and the baby killing mad men who crew them?

Yes it does help although I would like a little more clarification.

Are the new modern telescopes visible? I remember from the old movies that you could always know where a submarine was if you looked in the right place and noticed it protuding from the ocean surface.

Upset about the casting for the Last Airbender movies?
Write to Paramount about it.

Apparently you can now track subs at a certain depth with satellites via their heat signature.

Or shouldn't I mention that?

When you guys loose a battle, do you broadcast a message to the enemy commander that says "You Sunk My Battle Boat!"

Or we could get Abercrombie & Fish here a walkie-talkie and have him maintain a visual. Though with a three second memory we might wanna stick with alternative means.

Question I. Have you ever read the book Nimitz-class by Patrick Robinson? It's about a stolen Russian Kilo[/o]-class submarine that snuck close to a CVBG and took down the CVN. If so, what'd you think of it?




E_S: [i]
2) How did a Collins-class diesel boat manage to "sink" a Nimitz class carrier in AUS-US wargames?


Because carriers suck. Iowa-class battleship >>> Nimitz-class carrier any day.

Why did my opponents never account for nuke laden sub fleets in too-long games of Civ III PTW multiplayer?

E_S


Spearmen > subs


Civ I Phalanx > Civ III Spearmen > Subs

Those things could stop anything. Do you how many times I survived poundings from multiple tanks in the same turn using those things?


Seriously--in those games, it's almost worse to upgrade in technology.

I would say based on my opinion that yes indeed women like a man in uniform although I must say I think the Navy has the nicest uniforms. blush

I have a delicate question. So the submarine is full of men, men sometimes get horny. If you only get a two minute shower how do you get uh...unhorny? Is there any privacy? (I have a weird mind)
