We saw no signs of spirituous liquors on board the good ship Subtle, but then, when you're running around in such close proximity to Davy Jones's Locker, I suppose that is a Good Idea.

I'm appalled and feel that the Silent Service owes you a belated apology, so here's a virtual large G and T or whatever else takes your fancy. Although submarine wardrooms traditionally used not to drink spirits at sea, the hard stuff will undoubtedly have been there for use in harbour.. I can still remember on my first visit to a submarine, long before I joined the dark blue, being amused by the fact that the wardroom noticeboard used the metal expanding/contracting old style bottle tops from Gordon's Gin (the very strong one) as bulldog clips.

We had to make good with Cocoa !

Er, I hope you didn't. "Ki" is what they should have given you, made from solid bars of darkish chocolate and inevitably as thick as you like.
