<HTML>This is funny, like a U-boat Jerry Springer!!!
I was trying to explain these and the fact that a supply sub was caring enough torpedos to sink and aricraft carrier to my older \"all knowing \" Brother, he said that they might carry torpedos. I said they need that room for supplies for the injured uboat. He pointed out the boat looked like the VIIC class boats. He pointed out another flaw with that. He then said the sub might no have been the supply sub. I told him what was another sub doing near that other one (U-571). He said it might come to help. (What a $%^&*@#!!!!!) He later said the destroyer was helping that other supply sub. I said that the Kreigsmarine won\'t send a destroyer to the middle of the ocean based on a hunch that \"a sub might be injured\". Then the question was raised \"what was a land based plane doing in the middle of the Atlantic\"? He said the destroyer might have uanched it, that the Bismarc did. I explained it was too small to. He said a German aircrafdt carrier was nearby. I told him the Germans didn\'t have one at the time. He said they might have....He then said a whole fleet was their. I couldn\'t begin to say what was wrong with that! The whole navy coming for one U-boat...He siad that is what he would have done if a sub was injured. I told him That is why he isn\'t an admiral. Then, back to the supply boat. He said all subs have torpedos. I called him a nasty name and left it at that. What else could I say to further prove my case?</HTML>
