True, but english names aren't all that easy either. I mean, a city named something like Croucesterhamshiremouthwich would probably be pronounced "Crotch" by you guys.The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand.Comment

I'm right in assuming, that the handkerchief business in Wales is a very stable industry?Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

hangarfartyg = carrier
ubåt = submarine
amerikanskt = american
I can't read ( in Dutch it be something like "hangaarvoertuig") but that doesn't really mean anything put together.
hangaar = silo
Voertuig = vehicle
You don't have a different word for submarine? Just U-boat?Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

Re: Re: American carrier sunk in the Pacific
I believe this to be true.Originally posted by BeBro
I'm no expert, but I read some of those diesel subs are more difficult to find than the big nuclear subs.
I'd be curious to know the parameters of the exercise. Usually a carrier group is believed to have at least one sub of its own in attendance and possibly more and several anti-submarine screening vessels including dipping helicopters. For a single submarine to do evade all that that would be impressive indeed.
Its my understanding that multiple helicopters dropping sonar buoys plus a dipping array can make like holy heck on a subYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

But then again, Dutch sounds even more horrendous...you lot must have constant sore throats or something
Another funny one is the pronunciation of the Irish port of Dun Laoghaire
