Er, no. "The Cruel Sea" is about a corvette running convoy escort in WWII. I think you're thinking of "Open Water".
Eeeeeeeeeeek... yep... mistake... [:)]
BTW, still love the "H.M.S. Ulysses" by Alistair MacLean...
Shame that it was never turned into movie!

Probably because it was too depressing. (SPOILER ALERT) After all, everybody dies. Who but a Russian would like that kind of story? (Sorry Yury![:D]). At least in the Cruel sea SOME of them survive![:)]

Oh, dear Thread..... [8|]
I guess you don't like here either... [:D]

To quote Terminus (I think) I am underwhelmed. [:D]
"Lady" GaGa does serve a useful purpose. She provides a baseline to judge just how low a person will lower them selves for fame. [:D]

Rested, fed, hotel room full of young hockey players killing time before the first game of the weekend, and a turn in my inbox for after the game this evening. [8D]

Apparently the story of David and Goliath is incontrovertible proof of the existence if aliens. [X(][8|]
That's what you get for watching the history channel again![:-][:-][:-]
There was nothing else on.
What you couldn't find a test pattern?[:D] THATS why I keep a very large collection of DVD's. [:)] I easily have enough unseen to survive a season snowed in! And sufficient books too! Let's hope I don't have to![X(][X(][X(]

Freehand is for spray and pray like 10mm SMG. I would go for VATS every time. Easier on the ammo too.

Completely untrue. In Russian stories 1 person survives....someone needs to be the voice. [:D]

I seem to recall that exactly 2 members of the crew on the Ulysses survived.
