definition implies an object. We also have {qang} "pour from one container into another" which take an object but may not be the appropriate verb since flooding tubes “may be done manually or automatically, from sea or from tanks, depending on the class of
submarine” according to Wikipedia. (Cf. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torpedo_tube">

> If the intent is to flood them with water, why not use the word SoD flood instead?<br>
<br>
{SoD} is obviously a better choice, which was actually the first choice that came to my mind, but I didn't use it since I didn't know whether {SoD} could take an object.<br>
<br>
ghunchu'wI':<br>

<br>
These are very nice suggestions. For some reason I can't understand I always forget the option of clipped klingon..<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:4.0pt">This is an interesting option, although I wonder.. Couldn't the {DuSmey wa' cha' je} be understood as if we have two separate groups of torpedo tubes, which we go on by labeling each group as "flood the group
of torpedo tubes one", and "flood the group of torpedo tubes two"?<o:p></o:p></p>
