We didn't fly the Jolly Roger; when something happened to us, I had to sign a bunch of papers saying I won't talk about it.

Does ground have to be the shoreline? Or perhaps an underwater cliff face?
Of course. It was light refracting off Venus .....
Good luck hitting Tagboard, you hillbillies.

I had been planning on doing something productive, but now I guess I'll be watching Down Periscope instead.
Can't find a pic of Kelsey Grammer dressed as a pirate that isn't a GIF, sorry
Love that movie.

Submerged seamount which they hit at nearly maximum speed, one of the crew died of injuries from the collision. The tarp is covering what's left of the bow sonar, the forward ballast tanks are badly damaged. Pre VLS boat (no cruise missile tubes in the forward ballast tanks), it may have been helpful as the added weight forward might have been a really bad thing in this case.
1/12 scale:
U-505 is impressive as hell.
