That's the one - even though they were only in Clydebank because they were damaged and in need of repair, it didn't stop them fighting back, hence the memorial.

I don't remember there being one? I'd have used communal stairs/communal hallway. I think that English English doesn't have a good vocabulary for flats in general - we'd call a multi a block of flats.

If you want an idea of just how slimy Golden Bell Studios are, here's an illuminating quote from its CEO Marc Goldner, taken from this article: thetabletoptribune.com/how-golden-b...

A quote from Golden Bell Studio's CEO, Marc Goldner, which reads:

"“We’re not a board game publisher. This is what people don’t get. We have a board game publishing business, but we are an intellectual property company. Rob said it earlier, a ‘multimedia transmedia company.’ We are not a board game publisher. It’s so crazy to me that people don’t get that,"

This has an interesting analysis of the hijacking, including why the Galaxy Leader was targeted: www.prevail-partners.com/uncharted-wa... I doubt that the crew even knew about the guys whose ownership made their ship a target, so wouldn't have known they were at additional risk in the Red Sea.
