he does say that there are rules of engagement - so presumably there's a bit of trying to contact them on the radio, some flashing of lights, wing tipping and finally flying alongside them shouting "oi, wanker" before any actual shooting starts.

Not that I support Geoff in any way, but the Bismark did sink the Hood in fairly short order, and was only caught up to by the Royal Navy after 1 lucky torpedo from a Swordfish damaged it's rudder and forced it to steam in circles...
