    Hence the expression for 'skivers' of Swinging the lead!
    My son calls his depth measurer a 'Sounder'. Good enough for me.

    Good Morning โ€žModellbauerโ€œ!
    Modern technology!
    In pirate times, they were ropes with knots and a weight. The person who was allowed to measure gave the depths. He better not have had too much to drink the night before!
    Well, that was a long time ago. .
    Cool, that time . . No hustle and bustle and mobile phone addicts like today .
    Shit, my coffee is empty

    Modern torpedoes are also designed to attack just about everything on land and sea..and air for that matter. In many cases modern subs don't even have to leave port to do so. Frankly, it's terrifying what modern subs can do.

    Alessandro, you are correct, otherwise-
    "Errare humanum est, sed in errare perseverare diabolicum."
    A maxim meaning that to make mistakes is a common (and by implication forgivable) human attribute, but to persist in making the same mistake is a personal or moral flaw (and by implication less forgivable).
    Can this also be applied to AI?
    Don't be too hard on Stephen, suus non sua culpa, it's the AI's fault!

    "Errare humanun est".
    But the error must be corrected.

    Maybe I take it too seriously, after all it's a game.
    But I thought that we should try to find the exact answer and not make random choices.
    The game is instructive and you can always learn something, as long as there is greater rigor in seeking exact answers.

    If I can make a suggestion, I would do this:
    I would start from an absolutely exact statement, taken from one or more encyclodedic texts (in the United Kingdom there is certainly no shortage of authoritative and reliable publishers) and I would build the question from there.
    Furthermore, if the error occurred I would immediately rush to correct it to avoid making bad disclosure.

    This time the topic was very interesting and I liked it a lot, in fact it is very relevant to the topics covered in this forum.

    Too bad because I was liking this game.

    I too chose running. At least I was in the majority! A multitude of online sites with Q&A relating to many things including nautical interests. Perhaps drawing from them would be less questionable.
