Unfortunately, we were on the receiving end! I once knew a guy who worked at Marconi Torpedos. He told me they would sell to anyone but deliberately left out some circuitry so that they couldn't be used against us.

Also, as I pointed out earlier, your original post didn't give the full story. I believe, with no proof to back your claim, your original post is an unsubstantiated. I’ve pointed you in the direction of a book you obviously haven’t read. I suggest you do so, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
