Completely 'armless, that's for sure...

Perhaps the legged forces? What happens if they get drunk? Are the 'armless and legless forces? The body forces?

Nothing new, but it turns out that the one we all need to thank for preventing any further casualties is the local councillor. And who said politics isn't interesting?

Does anybody know where this nuclear submarine was? Why do we even have nuclear submarines? There's no war going on that we should be bothered with.

That's easy.
Where? It is in a dock right now.
Why? Because they can spend a long time under water without having to be re fueled and are silent.
Why do we have them? For future possible wars and because this one is a special submarine, sitting in the Channel it can 'hear' a ship leave a dock in New York.

Think about it, it doesn't just know what is leaving a NY dock.
This means it could detect an enemy ship leaving any dock in the world if it is in that massive range. That is a tactical asset anyone would want in a war.

I was thinking that this could be possible, at least as far as the navy is concerned, if we figured out how to make dolphins guide missiles straped on their backs. Make some progress with that idea & sailors could replace their guns with silent dolphin whistles.

I don't see what the big fuss is about. A guy cracked. People crack all the time. Just figure out why he cracked and solve the issue if it is applicable to others.

of course being confined on a boat for long periods of time will lead you to do some crazy things.
But they involve shooting something else. ;)
