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.

I spent too many evenings stumbling back to my boat in some foreign port looking for the Pickerel's 524 in some foreign port looking between these monstrosities after a night on the town.
May be an image of text that says '50 49 47
