Stoneman you constantly amaze me!! I loved your latest song btw. If it wasn't so profane we'd have featured it. :)

Banana & Grapes, Unlike Tartar missles and ASROCK (antie submarine rockets) Surface Torpedoes have to be manually shot out of the ship. So that is why they call General Quarters (all hands man your battle stations). It is also where the term "man the torpedoes" came from as surface torpedoes have to be manually shot out. There is no automated fire control mechanism for them (at least there wasn't when I was in the Navy) However, in several war movies I have heard them incorrectly say "Damn the torpedoes". That is where the publics incorrect terminology comes from. Much Respect Boatswainsmate 2nd Class Petty Officer Towery (Stoneman)

A-ha, an old Wiccan cleansing ritual, that should get rid of the smell around here.
