Dexi Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 From the damage it looks like the tanker hit the warship at c. 90 degrees - the hole seems to be the same size and shape as the front bulge of the tanker.Must have given the guy who was asleep on duty quite a shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Penis is hungry Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 I loved McHales navy as a kid, mainly due to it being set on tropical islands.
