Define 'expert'. I did a ship recognition badge in the Boy Scouts, or was it Lloyds Register. It was a long time ago.

Not so good on engines. They are too oily.

I can talk to you about ship weapon systems if you like?

It ain't exactly hard to hit a ship. Take one rocket, tell it to fly a few feet above the water, point generally in the direction of a ship, light blue touch paper.

The best defence is to stop the planes taking off in the first place. Which is what won it for the English when you add it all up.
