    I do not have the full results, but do have one bit of humor to share. One of our Lib captains served in the French navy. He challenged the captain of the Richelieu to try and sink him, proferring a bottle fo champagne if successfull. In case you do not know, this is the same Richelieu that has, on multiple occasions turned of power and CO2 switches with his shooting, and he had just finished cleaning and servicing his ship for what may be her final sortie (he is building the Richelieu II with the lessons he learned from his original ship).
    My understanding is that the Richelieu shot the Brown's propellor off. I was in the process of telleng the relator where I had some spares in the shipyard, but was told it was already replaced by one of the spares carried by Capt. Langlais. I am searching for a term here - was the Brown "un-screwed," "de-screwed," "had a screw loose," or did the Richelieu perform a "Propdectomy porcedure?":)
    I think I had better stop here.
    Cheers,

    There's something very unsettling about a mental image of a French proptologist.....

    LOL - agreed. I will share that one the captain of the Richelieu if he missed it.
