The last time I was this early, everyone wore their pockets full of posies and not face coverings (barbers excluded).

carmine paola but the Dutch and the French were such nice people. And it was very British to "give" Hong Kong to China, and even set an example for the Portuguese. 🙄

carmine paola btw: I think you may have missed my sarcasm, so I'll add a little context: But the French and Dutch are such nice people! The former gave baguettes to Indochina and the latter gave social order (apartheid) to South Africa. And it was very "British" to return Hong Kong to China after taking it during the war to keep selling Opium to China. And the Portuguese were the last of the Eight Nation (Imperial powers) Alliance War which divided China into 8 spheres of Euro economic exploitation, to return territory (Macau) to China.

Question: the RN T class submarines were famous for having the largest forward firing torpedoe salvo with 6 internal and 4 external tubes. How often was a 10 torpedo salvo used on a single or group of targets? Can the external tubes be reloaded at sea by the sub's crew or was reloading performed by a depot or tender?
