Swedish Anti-submarine tactics

Bored with repeated alleged incursions by Russian submarines, the Swedes have taken a novel approach to repelling further ones. They have produced an illuminated underwater sign (I'm not making this up, really) of a sailor wearing fetching white briefs transmitting in morse code "come this way if you're gay" and the illuminated wording "Sweden, gay since 1944" I did consider placing this on the MPA thread and admit there's only the most tenuous mil aviation connection but really couldn't resist posting. Given our continuing lack of an MPA capability, perhaps we could ask them to knock a couple up for us, so to speak?

Perhaps they should sing them a song?


"Don't bend down if a Boomer is around, cos he'll shove his snorkel up your bum.


He won't stop going, won't stop slowing, 'till your sonar is red and glowing..."

O-P, your first didn't scan.

Now I once met a Scandinavian (nationality obscure to protect the innocent) whose name, I kid you not, could be written as Kneels Bent Over.
