Sparkie - electrical engineer.
Crispy bacon - someone exposed to massive electrical discharge, eg. flashover or other accident
Toasted - to be hit by a non-lethal electrical discharge. "Did'ja hear about Smithers? Right next to the forrard port trim tank when we took that torpedo hit." "'Ow bad? Crispy?" "No, only lightly toasted. But he's still cursing." "Why?" "Took off half his precious mo', dinnit?"
Bangers - aerial torpedos.

Barring that, my vote goes to a nice HML Raven or the jolly good HML Ebtesham.

Is there a guesstimated price tag yet for the starter box?
