At random: The USS Blenny SS 324, on her last patrol of WW II sank 63 vessels. One by torpedo and 62 by deck gunfire, demolition charges set by boarding parties or by burning. On several occasions shotguns were fired through the boats bottoms. These were all vessels under the 500 ton JANAC limit for tonnage sunk and not counted in the "official" totals or ships sunk. This is also a record for the most vessels ever sunk by a submarine on one patrol.

Houston is a long drive from the east coast but I can put up to 4 people if need be.....I'm not a bad cook..no one has died from it, anyway....I'll share my liquor cabinet except for my single malts!  I love dogs and cats but don't know that we are prepared for them.
