#2 An Unguided Missile Cruiser?
Reminds me of the party sub crashing the Japanese fishing boat.
Guest steering tickets?
Ain't alcohol wonderful!

#6 She is NOT an LST. Damn those beauties on the beach! They are a hazard to navigation. They were not noted on the charts. Who was watching the depth sounder?

#7 AP, A list means tilt, in other words she's NOT sitting square upright but leans to one side.

List has absolutely nothing to do with LST which means "Landing Ship Tank" I'm afraid you've misread the word.

#8 The only thing the captain can hope for is if his navigation charts were out of date, and even that may not save him. He's really screwed if he has to pay for the repairs...
