At random: "Like the destroyer, the submarine has created its own type of officer and man with language and traditions apart from the rest of the service, and yet at the heart unchangingly of the Service” -- Rudyard Kipling, The Fringes of the Fleet, 1915

Subject: I'm Amazed

I just heard this amazing fact. During the days of wooden sailing ships the sinking rate was one ship per day. Most of those losses were unexplained. The loss today is something like one ship every 2 weeks. The stats reported didn't define what size ships were sunk although the program was about ocean going vessels and rogue waves.
