Mac, calm down, I am sure Gryphin is actually talking about the said naval action and it is not code for anything, ahem that way inclined!

Gryff, that's an easy one, outmoded and spurious tactics (compare to tactics used by KGV and Rodney when they attacked Bismarck), poor deck armour on the Hood, especially over the magazines (as I recall 3/4inch compared to BIsmarcks 41/2 inch) and bloody bad luck - the Hood may have been the largest vessel in the RN but it was probably the most antiquated fleet line unit we had
