    Yes, but not everybody has time to sit down to the computer very often. Joe said that he was very busy, and I know how that feels.
    So, I guess we're just going to have to be patient and wait. :)

    Thanks Beaver. Sorry all for taking so long. I had something in mind, but computer issues made me think of another question:

    What navy ship went dead in the water (and allegedly had to be towed in) after Windows encountered an error?

    Correct. I'd say surprising yet true...
    But what do you expect from Windows?

    What country sank one of their own warships during maneuvers, and what was the name of that warship?

    Most famously would be HMS Victoria rammed and sunk by HMS Camperdown during a parade ground manuever coming in to dock off of Tripoli as I recall. Adm. Tyron is supposed to have had the last words of "It's all my fault".
    HMS Victoria

    I have nothing in mind, so I'll let Dustin have a go. We answered at the same time.

    What nation's flagship sunk on its maiden voyage? What was the name of the ship, and who was the head of state at the time of the sinking?

    (probably too easy)

    I'm going to make a stab at it since no one has yet.

    Swedish warship Vasa, and the Head of State, Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden.

    Wow, I didn't think I'd get that one. :)

    What German ship had the highest accuracy shooting in the whole German navy prior to WW1?

    There are some of you out there that should know this one. (Tugboat) ;)
