‘No deeper message,’ navy says.apnews.com
I was just watching a video from Drachinifel on the Royal Navy’s extensive history of trolling other navies and responding to trolling. They are going to do something wacky.
no deeper message
I don’t believe them. there’s a message there and it’s funny as hell.
Lmao. That’s funny on multiple levels.

weird how 70 years later german military is glorifying the empire in star wars, which borrowed a lot from nazis but then became its own cultural thing
Borrowed? Heh. Nicked whole-cloth, more like: General Hux, addressing troops arranged in the “Nuremberg” pattern; the battle of Mimban = WWI Western front, in space; stormtroopers in Stirnpanzer; Soontir Fel = Red Baron — to say nothing of Baron Valen Rudor, and Vault Skerris; etc.
Hell, if you’d like a fun rabbit hole, look into the Twi’leks’ Ryloth liberation as French Revolution, OG Sith as ancient Egypt/Aztec civs, Empire expansionism as HRE/Spain/US, etc. 🤓
The man’s not known for ingenuity. Then again, neither is GRRM. 🤷🏽♂️
Nearly all those things you’ve listed are Disney not Lucas?
Wasn’t the Death Star pretty much full of people with a British accent 🤷♂️
And also Nazis. Strange bedfellows and such.
‘The warship’s commander “is a big ‘Star Wars’ fan’
Lmao the commander is a top tier troll. I mean who wouldn’t love to float a giant grey warship down the Thames blasting the Imperial March??
A German warship blasting the anthem for fictional space Nazis isn’t great optics.
What’s the point of getting out of bed if everything is space nazis and bad optics?
