I see you've met vestanumbers.
Oh, and vesta? It's called TACTICS. Namely, ours have been developed over a century of experience, technology, and yes, blood.
Theirs? Well, if you count that old Commodore Amiga version of 688...
This is what I was trying to say Sparky, Warfare under the sea is most complicated. It takes much education just to ride our boats. The Sand Worms have little training in war fare that is not on land.
The tactics you speak of are a 4,000 years in the making, first surfice and then down under. same tactics, how to place the ship to make a kill, the wind and the tide.
There are currents under water, thermal layers etc. all has to be mastered, much like the topside sailing ships.
These Subs that have a crew of Sand Worms are dangerous, they have no idea what they are facing and it scares me, they are like a ricochet of a bullet that bounces off something and hits a vulnerable part of what they are shooting at. Sort of like when faced with someone with a gun, and being faced with a 3 year old child that finds a gun and shoots at random.
Our boys that ride the boats are facing not just third world subs but now have to worry about our own Government that wants to place females in an environment that has been built for and maned by Men for a time since the Subs were first invented.
Sooner or later something very bad will happen, our Sub service works like a clock but why are people trying to fix a or change something that has worked for 100 years????
What is more dangerous, a third world country Sub, or, putting young woman on a sub for 3-6 months with 90 horny men????
