If you really want to tick off a squid....just remind them that they lost an aircraft carrier during the Vietnam War.
The USS Card was an old escort carrier that was used to haul helicopters and light aircraft to Vietnam. She was sunk in the Saigon River by a VC underwater demolition team. The navy refused to admit that the ship was actually sunk, declaring that it was merely damaged, and spending a considerable amount of money and tens of thousands of man-hours to refloat and "repair" her.
