| #2 Shallow? Hydroplane? Bet it'l get stuck in shallows a lot. Hydroplaning is fine , but when you slow down, the bottom is there and closer than you planned. I picture this ship stuck in a shallow that it "COULD" have hydroplaned over, but slowed down, possibly by striking something, or being shelled. Good idea, if it remained an idea. |
