Which event? I don't think I've reached that far into the game.

Scherzo of Iron and Blood. To be more specific the relationship between Bismarck and U-556. Based on real history, U-556 swore an oath to protect Bismarck whenever and wherever she could, complete with it being presented to Bisamarck as a signed oath.

Here's the direct qoute from the story:
"I, U-556, hereby declare before Neptune, Lord over oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, brooks, ponds, and rivulets,

that I will provide any desired assistance to my ally and Lord, battleship Bismarck,

at any place on the water, under water, on land, or in the air.

Signed: U-556, Parzival of The Seas
At the bottom, U-556 had made a drawing of herself towing her Lord Bismarck back to port."

Combined with the picture serving as the background when the oath was quoted it was...kinda heart-breaking, you know

    What make that more even tragic is IRL during the Sinking of Bismarck U-556 was actually in the area but ran out of ammunition and could not help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-556#The_sinking_of_Bismarck

    Is it just me, or does it look like Hood's right eye is not there in the top right frame? Judging from how she is drawn in the other frames, it looks a little off.

    I'm glad that no one got in trouble. I don't think the European militaries care as much, but for the US forces, DUIs and such are really super bad for your service record.

    and who could they give the DUI charge to?

    Man, the things you learn from unexpected sources. I never thought I’d learn about comic history from the human incarnations of warships.

    The best history lessons tend to come from unexpected places
