gaiasabre11 - Something someone else has done isn't as good as something you've done? How unexpected. You'll be saying the sun rises in the East next!
gaiasabre11 - While I'm certainly aware of winning and I'm afraid I'll defer to your expert knowledge of defeat and vast experience of being a loser.
But I must confess currently I'm reading a book about epic failures of the Royal Navy. It looks like the RN had a cruiser that managed to torpedo itself in the past...
That is actually pretty impressive. How do you even do that??

Bafflegab - Very true on all points, however I think you under-estimate the French capacity for surrender. For instance all French artillery pieces are equipped with smoke shells that air burst into the shape of a white flag.
Killing Musso is a bad move. No one is going to repeat the mistakes he did. Now Italy may have a chance.:rofl:
Adding to that is that Exocet missiles are white. So now I wonder why British ships can't stand those missiles coming for them.
gaiasabre11: The whiteness of the missile combined with the tendancy of the warhead not to explode leads me to suspect that the Exocet works on a principle of surrender at high speed. Against thinly armoured ships not expecting such a violent surrender, French engineers have been able to turn a weakness into a strength.
