Isnt a "Tiffy" where somebody throws a fit?

Thats interesting. They named a sub Acheron... Like the ship in the movie "Master and Commander"

Most brit vessels have recylced names. So probly how they chose the name acheron for M&C, look at one that been used, chances are it could have been used before.

This is good stuff - for me. My dad was an ERA, and he was on the Acheron! I remember him often saying, "When I was on the Acheron-----"

You can see his service record here http://moonrakers.com/submarines/RJCaswellrecord2.jpg

A 'Tiffy' is the RN and REME term for an 'Artificer'. Tubal Cain being the first Artificer in metals.
REME being the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers of the British Army.
