Limpets

Have to be something in a campaign perhaps, you know some kind of
special
thingy you could pull on an enemy to disable one of his ships . . .  I
agree, though, it wouldn't really work in a one-off game  (ie Turn 4:
limpet
mines engaged, enemy SDNs disabled, game over)

Yep, Nelson & Aggy were about 1000 tons heavier . . . Have you checked
out
the discussion boards at www.warships1.com ?  They're well worth a look
if
you're in to ships, especially the battleship one . . .
