All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.

Well in unmanned craft you don't have to worry about keeping G forces at survivable levels so that makes sense.

You're supposed to hold onto the cork, preferably with a bar towel over the neck, and pull the bottle from the cork. *Not* pull the cork from the bottle. And like a gun, -never- point the neck towards anyone ever. People have lost eyes, teeth, or at least got major bruises from a stray flying cork. It's not funny, you wouldn't do that with an air gun.

On this day in 1998, fishermen spotted a manned North Korean submarine tangled in nets in South Korean waters. South Korean Navy ships placed the disabled sub under tow at which point it sank after possibly being scuttled by the crew. When a salvage team was able to recover the sub, it was discovered that the crew had been executed by officers who then committed suicide. Items found in the sub also indicated that the sub was carrying members of North Korean special forces who had recently infiltrated the South Korean mainland.

Not sure the caliber matters when your sub is disabled and under tow by the enemy and you are planning on opening the sea cocks anyway

Yeah, but I was asking more what the procedure would be for executing someone in general. I've never been in a sub, but I would think they would be pretty tight quarters. A rough place to shoot someone and a hell of a bad place to be trying to fight your way toward executing someone that doesn't want to be executed. Knowing N Koreans they probably walked right to a bucket and kneeled down over it. Its pretty brutal to think about.

Considering how radioactive it was at that point, it's amazing it didn't glow in the dark.

No way, she still exists. Best thing that could be done with her. Too radioactive to scrap or turn into a museum

That's true. Almost criminal the way they massively overbuilt the Navy near the end of WWII and ended up scrapping most of it and when Korea hit 5 years later were surprised at the Navy being woefully inadequate. Same for all the armed forces in the rush to demobilize and get the troops home.

Well Congress isn't gonna pay for the upkeep of 7000 ships and the pay for millions of Sailors to man them forever.
