Torpedoes? Did someone say torpedoes? Why, uh, no...
(Quick! Battle turn away! Battle turn away! MAXIMUM TURN! EEEEEK)
In fact, now that you mention it, it's worth saying that in fact
a threatened destroyer torpedo attack is what caused the German
fleet to break off at Jutland...so yes, yes, I'm very afraid.
Fortunately there's a safe 24 years between the end of my ship
and the first Fletcher. :)
I can't wait to see your photos, Mattias! (I've been wanting
to see someone tackle those 40s for some time.)
