re: #472 Gus 802

Ha! That made me laugh. ;) I was laying around the game room in my apartment and watching the history channel. It’s odd how they’ve gone of into the troofer realm.

I’ve learned to take many of their shows with a large grain of salt. Even if the story is accurate, other things aren’t. They were discussing submarines, and the sinking of the British cruisers Cressey, Aboukir, and Hogue during WWI. I have seen still pictures of those ships going down, but they chose to illustrate it with what was clearly a merchant ship, not a cruiser.
The same show had an animation of the Revolutionary War submarine the Turtle attacking the British ship, and had a propeller(!) on the British sailing vessel. Propellers didn’t get used until years later.
This might have been on the Military channel, but those are all interchangeable; they show the same shows.
