As it over 72 hours since the setter last posted I think it's reasonable for you to take the floor if you so wish - as long as the subject isn't naval history or Star Trek.

LOL This thread is mostly naval / sea related so maybe it should be called Naval General Knowledge Quiz

I suppose the furthest you can get from a cosmonaut is a submariner. Were they undersea spies?

Um... Unknown!

However, thats nothing to do with the answer I am looking for

True... But the question is related to naval things only in that it happened at sea

They were sent to rescue a nuke sub and the whole operation went pear shaped. There was a mass cover up by the CI And the Soviets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Azorian

The recovered section included two nuclear torpedoes, and thus Project Azorian was not a complete failure. The bodies of six crewmen were also recovered, and were given a memorial service and with military honors, buried at sea in a metal casket because of radioactivity concerns.

They were the ones FROM the sub. :/ bad gramma an tiepin

Despite the cheeky editing, yes... There was an attempt to keep it secret, but the civilian Captain answered a distress call for medical help so the position was entered into the log book.

If I was to trade places with a werewolf whist singing a Michael Jackson song. Who would I be ?

As to the editing that was me adding a quote as per forum rules. I usually put *edit* where do so.

Also "Last edited by ComUtoR; Today at 16:44."

forum ninjitsu aside, the reason was given <D

FYI I sometimes edit out where is states last edited and add a cheeky comment or two. Mostly I edit for poor readability and typing.

It would help if I knew the card game "werewolf whist", is it like vampire bridge?

Billie Jean?

No context with this, I'm just extracting names from Micheal Jackson songs.

Another try would be Annie.
