HMAS WALLER yesterday sank either the ex USS FLETCHER or a Spruance Class Destroyer of Hawaii.

Fairly graphic display on why you wouldn't want to be a skimmer when there be submersible boats around.

A lot of work went into getting WALLER to the firing point but I reckon it was all down to my work on her Battery.

By Jove, POD, you've gone and done it. Good show ole Chap.

And here Blue said that--------- oh, never mind. We know Blue is focused elsewhere.
