There are several hundred available at the bottom of the Atlantic.

We don't have one either. We have a bunch of them.

Our European allied navies are in rough shape overall. They’ve relied too much on the US the last 50 years. It seems their defense budgets have been plundered for welfare.

And I can trace my history
Down one generation in my home
In one of our submarines

The old joke used to be ‘How do you sink a Polish submarine?’ The answer was, ‘put it in water.’

The new joke is ‘How do you sink a British submarine?’ The answer is, ‘you can’t, there is no such thing as a British submarine!’

They’ve been riding on the backs of American taxpayers for 70 years.

Instead of buying costly aircraft carriers and submarines Germany saves their money to spend on welfare and feebies to enntice muslim terrorists to move to Germany and rape their women.

Maybe we can send the one in that Chicago museum back if we’re not using it ...

>>to enntice muslim terrorists to move to Germany

In a few years, they’ll have those muslim terrorists manning their warships, so I’m glad they don’t have a submarine that works.

I should think this would cause great loss of face for the Germans, with their prideful efficiency. Or maybe that’s changed.

In the town where I was born,
And he told us of his night,
In a four wheel submarine.

So we drove out to the bridge,
Till we found a sea of green,
Where she died beneath the waves,
In his four wheel submarine.

And our friends are all aboard,
Many more of them live next door,
And the party just goes on...

MaryJo died in a four wheel submarine,
Four wheel submarine, four wheel submarine.
MaryJo died in a four wheel submarine,
Four wheel submarine, four wheel submarine.

Full speed ahead, Mr. Kennedy, full speed ahead
Full speed ahead it is,
Get the lawyer, get the lawyer,
Aye, aye, sir, aye, aye
Captain, captain

And we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need
Whiskey gold and money green
And we forget that submarine

MaryJo died in a four wheel submarine,
Four wheel submarine, four wheel submarine.
MaryJo died in a four wheel submarine,
Four wheel submarine, four wheel submarine.

They would prefer one that could make it back to the surface.

The biggest reason Western European countries have become the Socialist sh!tholes they are currently is they were able to ride on our backs in regards to defense, even during the height of the Cold War. They were able to spend their money handing it out to every undeserving slacker they could find and now their own people are too lazy to work, so they made the deadly mistake of importing foreigners to supposedly do the work needed.

They are like Canada. I don’t think we have a working submarine either. Those diesel ones we bought from Britain were duds.
