The tendency to lean to the left was built in for political reasons.

The German article I read, said the ships are leaning to the left. Must be an attempt to cover up Nazis in the military.

Some people don't know their left from their right... :whistle:
UK Reuters
Germany's much-delayed new frigates, built by ThyssenKrupp (TKAG.DE) and Luerssen for at least 650 million euros (£551.4 million) apiece, are overweight and float with a persistent list to starboard, according to a confidential report seen by Reuters.

Is there any red port left?

That's how you remember, but it means you have to know whether it's the left, or the other left.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Always the short word is left. Red and green. Left and right. Port and starboard.

I thought "frigate" was something they did in German porn flicks...
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
