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.

Iceland was a destination of ours for this spring but we ended up going to Scotland instead - LOVED it! We changed because we felt there would be more to see and do.

Any of you guys been to Iceland? If so, would you do it again? What did you most like?

Thanks!

Only spent couple hours in airport (on way to Scotland, BTW). Spoke with a couple young lads who worked there. Really friendly and very proud of their country. They spoke better English than I. Flying over the land is quite beautiful and unique. Raw nature at it's best! If you are lucky you may see a volcano erupting. Most all their energy derived from ground.

When younger, we traveled IcelandAir to Europe (cheap). Stopped over at least three times.

Last year we cruised to Greenland from Amsterdam and stopped at Iceland on the way. Had a fine time, especially in the small towns.
