I thought that a ship only displayed the Jolly Roger when they had engaged and sunk an enemy combatant? HMS Conqueror... ![[Linked Image]](http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/10/12/article-0-06324DFA0000044D-370_634x419.jpg)

Me too. I wonder... any North Korean subs gone missing?

Siccessful war patrol? Interesting... No broomstick, though.
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

I thought the broomstick signified firing all your torpedoes and every one hitting its target?

The broomstick is symbolic of "sweeping the enemy from the ocean".

I find it pretty strange that a billion dollar submarine has to have jury rigged railings for lookouts, a jury rigged mast and light with a closed array (the worst kind) Furuno radar to enter it's home port. ![[Linked Image]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DJkCQsyUQAA6Cw9.jpg) That pic is much better, lots of dings, rust, and patches...Ice?

Not so much jurry rigged as being made to disassemble and pass it through a hatch for storage/usage.

Not so much jurry rigged as being made to disassemble and pass it through a hatch for storage/usage. Exactly. I went out on a Los Angeles class sub once, and it was almost identically set up.

Yeah, good points gents.
Stealthy sig is the name of the game. My ignorance. Still don't like the sloppy patches but that is probably the sonar absorbent coating stuff...the rust are from nicks or poor application that coating I'd guess.

Regarding the Furuno If you want to troll adversaries do you... a) light em up with your Sun-strength super-classified anti-stealth multi-band radar b) pretend you're a pleasure cruiser as for the damage, I'm guessing Arctic ice (or Arleigh Burke class destroyers ) tend to do that to the paintwork

The better pic was happily stolen from a post.....in...gasp...PWEC from..I hope he has power tonite, our own CyBerkut If it was just paint, and it's not, I would have delayed my entry into port until we looked ship shape, seriously. Hopefully the crew is quietly celebrating something cool they can never talk about.
