  Ok I'm bored so I will just start replying semirandomly to messages
that strike me as humorous.

  Uh... there's some kind of infinite recursion problem here in
B)... You probably meant landing SHIP.	Although, on the other hand,
it might confuse the enemy to produce an infinite succession of
landing craft, each bobbing menacingly in the cold predawn waters,
each spawning forth two more equally menacing landing craft....  I
wonder, would the new ships be the same size as the old ones or would
they get smaller and smaller and smaller....
