Sailors on a Destroyer call a Sub a Pigboat

Re: Sailors on a Destroyer call a Sub a Pigboat

No no no no no and many more times no! o

I just didn't get the bit about "The question was, what do sailors on(and I guess it would be more correctly stated in) a sub call skimmers? " because that wasn't the original question:

it was "What do the sailors on a Sub call a Destroyer? "

See where I'm getting confuddled, bemused and bewildered?

As I rapidly approach my twilight years I do wonder at all this electrickery, tomfoolery malarkey :%

I'm off for a mug of cocoa and a lie down, my head hurts :'(

You need to put you tongue in your te, er I mean cheek when... My remark was speaking to the fact that you said in the Royal.....Lesser....available. I did not know your father, as fine a man as he was, spoke for the whole Navy. As matter of fact I can frankly say that I did not even know he was in the Navy. As JB so deftly deducted I was looking for another answer but what I got was a whole new kettle of fish. As to your headache perhaps if you don't read too much in...
