#6  They shoulda just torp-pee-doed it. I can vouch for the chinks being not of a retaliating mindset. A little whining in the UN and that'd be it.

The Brits could just say 'Blimey! We thought it was a Quatermass experiment sort of deal and these gents were mongol pirates!'

No? Okay.

#5   But was it in shooting range when they first discovered it?

An important point. Usually, submarines announce their presence with what the bubbleheads refer to as a "flaming datum"

#1  ...The RN's institutional knowledge on subhunting is pretty damned impressive, and it's a good thing they're passing it down.
