    Hi Alessandro,
    Re "The turret of the submarine ...", "the submarine cannot use a sail (which is actually a turret) ..."
    Must be a translation problem. Submarines do not have turrets.
    In various navies at various times the 'superstructure' of a submarine has been known as Conning Tower (German Kommandoturm), Fin (Dorsal๐Ÿ˜‰) or Sail which I believe originated in the USN.
    Definitions of turret from Oxford Language Dictionary-
    - a small tower on top of a larger tower or at the corner of a building or wall, typically of a castle. "a castle with fairy-tale turrets"
    - a low armoured tower, typically one that revolves, for a gun and gunners in a ship, aircraft, fort, or tank.
    - a rotating holder for tools, especially on a lathe.

    "the first submarine to successfully sink an enemy warship ..."
    A Pyrrhic victory as the submarine was also lost with all 8 crew membersโ˜น๏ธ
    A 'recycled' previous question๐Ÿ™„

    I have just come on here for the first time today to enter the days question. And for some reason it tells me as I go to answer it comes up as I answer that I get it wrong and it's not the answer that I put. It tells me that I have already answered todays question. My % had dropped again, and I haven't been on here at all today We were watching stuff on the Firestick until 2am and I didn't get up until 11am and this is the first time I have been on the Model Boat Website today.
    I JUST DO NOT GET THIS???????๐Ÿ™Š๐Ÿ™Š๐Ÿ™Š๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜

    Indeed Hermank! Only the submarine cannot use a sail (which is actually a turret) to move. It only has its own propulsion (in this case nuclear).
