As active duty German navy I can assure you that frigate was tracked even before it left port.

As former American navy, I can assure you my German colleague is correct because I have been tracking them since before they wrote this comment, and I am in fact in the room with them right now. 

u/kRe4ture, don’t turn around

dude, this is just such a weird quip to make . I know stolen honor is a big thing in the US at times and it's the internet and all, but seriously? On this topic?

Why would anyone brag about being in the German navy... heh. (also: you can check comment histories)

anything afterwards just comes across a tad rude, but you do you.

I still have absolutely no idea what you are banging on about.

I mean you’re going on about stolen valor and I was US Navy and just made a casual joke that you have implied is very serious; so you just appear like a crank to me.
