God help me, I've been doing the same thing with this thread, despite my best efforts not to.
But we're done now, right? Can we tow the hulk of this thread out to sea and sink it with naval gunfire?
Sinking a ship with gunfire is quite difficult, unless a shell finds its way to a magazine (as with HMS Hood 1941) or starts a fire that does (as with several ships at Jutland.). Failing that, can be done but you have to work at it. Torpedos work better, faster, easier fire control. Point and shoot. The incompressibility of water does the rest. Dastardly, ungentlemanly little buggers they are.
