There was a 60s sitcom called 'The Lucy Show' that had one episode called 'Lucy and the Submarine'. However the screenshot does not look like it. Surely there can't be two 60s sitcoms that had one episode based around a submarine

That's a good one

I still need a few more skippers to weigh in... anyone else have some ideas?

Nice, but it's not that show....

The question is unfair since I only have my TV remote within arms reach. Suppose I can use it to jam the rudder of a freighter and steer it into an iceberg. That's a winner!

I would show them my computer and Silent Hunter three thus causing them to get lost in virtual u-boats and never wanting to do the real thing again.

Hmmm.... I have a corkscrew and a few empty beer bottles.

Picture this if you will. It's a inky black night, I've been shadowing this freighter all day and my deck gun is out and cannot be fixed.... I've used all my torpedoes so I pull along side my target. Being truly sneaky, we scramble up the side of the freighter and quietly kill the crew, one by one by stabbing them to death with the cork screw and smashing beer bottles over their heads. However, we cannot just open the sea-cocks and slip away. So I raid the captain's cabin of the freighter and take a few bottles of his best wine. Thus souvenirs in hand, we scuttle the freighter and escape!

The 4 guys above me didn't read the question right -->

now, describe how you would use one of those objects in a torpedo attack on a freighter.
