21st Century Political Correctness has sunk the Graf Spee this time ...

I doubt there remains much it hasn't sunk already so I guess Spee is in good company.  :glare:

Yep, I agree victories like that are an encouraging start. He's already bugging me for another game.

And of course I'd love to tell him I let him win  :;):  but  the sad fact remains he beat me fair and square.  :D

They've changed the names!?!?!? Thats an outrage!!!!!!!1 Is nothing from my childhood sacred anymore?!

Although weirdly they only changed the name of the Graf Spee - it's now called the 'Robert Eaves', and is accompanied by an un-named submarine. The programme says 'The enemy vessels are a fictitious fleet and bear no resemblance to any vessel.'

Thankfully, all the other ships are still properly named!

Well, IMO, political correctness has no place in history ... but sometimes the facts are blurry.  However, in this case it's pretty clear what happened that day ...

Great to see a naval game again and sounds like a blast for the young 'un.

You mean the Young Hun, don't you?    :laugh:

Be careful with your son! Maybe you are breeding a new Nelson  :)
