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.

Actually that is a pouch the Aussies use in case they come upon a lost Joey(Baby Kangaroo). They stuff the Joey in the pouch and take them to th Zoo.

Well those 'skivvies' pictured are a good reason they are referred to by some as 'smalls' he he he...

and the guy who fell 30-35 metres was 'ex' Paratrooper and SAS....said he used his training to survive.

Show off, I fell 11 metres and used absolutely no training to survive! lol
