Ahoy, Mateys! The Admiral is giving away another bit 'o plunder, but only the saltiest of seadogs will have a chance of parting me from my loot. This be one of my favorite games right now, and for swabbies who have good taste, the sequel be due out at the end 'o the month. I've designed this test to take all acceptable answers, so stow the scuttlebutt and don't be sharin' hints.

Oh, and if ye haven't contributed at least $0.01 to keep the community afloat, even with this shadowgrounds skylarking that's been going on lately, then get off me ship, ye landlubber!

Set Sail

EDIT

Hints:

  1. What they called torpedoes back then... they have another name these days. That's what I'm asking for.
  2. 2-3 years ago a very popular enlisted uniform got "replaced". It had a name. That's what I'm asking for.
  3. I'm asking for the common name of that "sailor hat" in the navy. You may find it in your bathroom.
  4. If you find out how Colonel Sanders (of KFC fame) got his title, you'll be close to the answer.
  5. Japanese, served during WW2.

six. American, signed the surrender documentation of Japan in WW2.
seven. It's a trap.
eight. A navigational device used aboard naval vessels way back when.
nine. Minted from silver by the Spanish.
ten. This rank was abolished soon after it was made.

Alright. If you find out how Colonel Sanders (of KFC fame) became a colonel, odds are it will lead you to where you want to be.
