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.

Haven't you ever seen, "No Gurls Aloud" on young boys tree houses?

Robin - you and Miss Lumpy Bumps and I should all pose with our hats.

I think Nancy has one also. If she ever posted hers, I missed it.

We are the GURLS of the Bottomgun BBS!! Hip, hip, hooray!

Hey, I'll drink to that?

Hoist one for each of us; and besides I never miss a chance to use these cute emoticons.

Cora

P.S. It was so much fun planning this.

Hey Robin,

Welcome to the Club. I hope you enjoy wearing your new cap as much as I do mine. It is "distinctive"...and I am very proud to wear it.
