[WWI] Added:A Submarine model at the AWM

[Douglas Anderson]

I used to serve on Daphne class submarines, and later on container liners. In teh navy we never referred to subs as ships but either boats or pigs or subs. When I was studying to become a deck officer with the merchant navy, I was once berated by an 'ancient mariner' who stated categorically that a modern container liner isn't a ship; a ship is a type of rig where all the masts carried square sails. Then he was probably biased.

boats.
(as in submarines are built by General Dynamics "Electric Boat
Division")
Also, vessels intended for primary use on the American-Canadian Great
Lakes are Boats - ocean vessels (ships) that make their way to the Great
Lakes via the St Lawrence Seaway are known to "Lakers" as "salties."
No Diego, that's salties, not saltines.
I guess there are other rules, but after awhile my eyes glaze over if it
isn't airplanes or armor... LOL.

  How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn't have that dangerous beak.
