  1.  @bunzeebear2973  That's the joke. It comes from a line in Star Wars "made the Kessel run in 5 parsecs." A parsec is a unit of distance.

  9.  @TheBelrick  If you're implying the loss was due to sub attack, what sort of sub would let it limp for such a huge distance before finishing it off? Make up another one.

  15. Ukraine has no sea ports the Russian's can't interdict. Ukraine is supplied mostly overland, truck and rail, with some air transport. Why would NATO ships sink?
