In the first to photo I'm having a discussion with Dave as to the availability of the various vessels; "is this ship taken?" etc. I still have no idea who owned it!

Shortly after the third photo a navy ship lost in the fog rammed the island, smashing the jetty to pieces and ditching Mark's crew into the sea.

I would like to point out that the Japanese contingent were purely there in an innocent capacity and were needlessly set upon by the Royal Navy  :'(

Bastards  lol
