    Yes, but the Germans didn't think that big leaky funnels running into the boiler room were a great idea. Call them eccentric, but...

    The sand of the desert is sodden red-
    Red with the wreck of the square that broke
    The gatling's jammed and the colonel dead,
    And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.
    The river of death has brimmed its banks,
    And England's far, and Honour a name,
    But the voice of a schoolboy rallies the ranks-
    "Play up! Play up! And play the game!"

    Indeed, they have just found the wreck of one such sub of the NE coast of Scotland.

    I think you may be fibbing as everyone knows that any sperm on board a RN sub or ship would be instantly drank by the male crew.

    No, there is no flashing light as one knows, one has to be Astute to serve in submarines.......
