You are on the WW1 era Battleship H.M.S. Audacious. You are at a machine gun station, when your ship strikes a mine. Your vessel is sinking. In this situation, what would you do?

Kill the navigator. He was probably SUI.

none of the above... I just sit and wait to be taken aboard another ship on the fleet, which is near by, OR I wait longer and get to ride on a plushy passenger cruiser the navy recruits to help evacuate us soldiers :b

SUI? Sailing Under Influence?

I wonder who voted for the hole plugging. I'm trying to remember what ship it was that helped to evacuate the crew of the Audacious. I suppose I could just look it up, but I do believe that it was a passenger liner.

the Olympic... stuck in my head because it was one of the Titanic's sister ships... it also had some of the worst luck ever for a passenger liner without ever actually sinking...

The Olympic was the only large Liner of the original four to serve without sinking. Titanic was sunk in 1912, while the other two, Lusitania, and Britannic, were both sunk in WW1 by German U-boats.

...Ok, so I was the one who said they'd plug the hole. Why doesn't anyone else find that a good idea?
