I can’t believe we’ve sunk so low with these jokes.

I’ve spent half my life’s earning on wargames, women, and drink. The rest I wasted.

By definition, landing on a carrier is a "controlled crash."

Exercising the High Seas Fleet, summer 1914.

That ship's boat looks like it will be splintered from the muzzle blast of the turret in the forground.
