I could imagine the click bait with this image. $800 Billion Aircraft carrier sunk by a WWI wood and canvas biplane and $2000 torpedo.

@Mark Keefer yes, and the cat is a spy.

I am thinking about changing the forum font. Sometimes the sans serif makes certain letters look much different--and convey different signs. For all the world, I thought your post began:

I am happy that this situation resolved itself, and no moderating or harm to wild squirrels occurred. Free the Glutens!

The Fairey Swordfish was clearly outdated for the second world war but you use what you've got. The Kriegsmarine Battleship Bismarck may not have been sunk by a Swordfish but its steering was so effected that it became a sitting duck

The destruction of HMS Hood spurred a relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy involving dozens of warships. Two days later, heading for occupied France for repairs, Bismarck was attacked by fifteen Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers from the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal; one scored a hit that rendered the battleship's steering gear inoperable. In her final battle the following morning, the already-crippled Bismarck was engaged by two British battleships and two heavy cruisers, and sustained incapacitating damage and heavy loss of life. The ship was scuttled to prevent her being boarded by the British, and to allow the ship to be abandoned so as to limit further casualties. Most experts agree that the battle damage would have caused her to sink eventually. (text borrowed from Wikipedia)

That would have taken the conversation in a different direction. Well at least it wasn't a real auto correct error with my AI phone, that often changes my words into something that makes no sense. I am more than capable on my own of thinking one thing, but my fingers type something else, typos, fat fingers, spelling errors or omitted words, gremlins...
