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.

In light of new information, just confirmed by Jim Christley, I have made the appropriate corrections to the photos on the H-Boat page concerning the men lost when the USS H-1 went aground off Baha Mexico. The flag covered bodies and makeshift grave is now correctly identified.
