I thought that that was a stumper . I guess Skipperbob isn't as bad a Maritimer as I thought . (He still doesn't know fore from aft tho')

So I guess I'll have to do a black beauty ballbusting him!

P.S. The Fairey Swordfish torpedo plane was replaced by the Fairey Fulmar, which was a disappointment. So it was itself replaced by- The Fairy Swordfish Eh!

P.P.S. What got me on this train of thought was Stuya's name. Stuya-Stuka. The Stuka was a German Dive Bomber used for the same purpose as the Fairey Swordfish - to sink ships
