Gentlemen, you read WAY too much into my comment.

1) I thought the hole in the hull looked like a torpedo tube. It does! And the idea of arming a beach cat is funny and has been a parody before. Remember the On the Wire E-Zine about the anti-PWC rockets? Silly and funny, as was the torpedo tube idea.

2) The very brief 19-word reference to an old navel conflict was in jest, meant to laugh at the silly armed beachcat idea. If you won't allow a bittersweet laugh at a long-past and unfortunate war you will drown in your grief. The U.S.government provides its citizens with an endless supply stupid wars that we regret and can gently joke about after 25+ years.

No politics nor offense was intended. The hole in the hull is odd and looks like an outer torpedo tube . That's it. And that's still funny.

You all need to lighten up a bit. Go sailing.

Again I say, no politics nor offense was intended.
