    A good deal. Suffren is a tippy ship period, so adding more weight topside just made it worse.

    yes, they need their papers revoked and their helmsmen should be flogged for being drunk on duty

    Thin round bottom hulls will roll. It's the nature of the beast. Ensure a tight deck seal and trust in your pump!
