Your all wrong!!! It's for cutting Battleships in half and for the last three years I have slowly been doing that, it's hard going and I expect a breakthrough by 3255 AD.











And if you believe that I can come up with more outrageous reasons. :p

It's to enforce crew discipline. I wouldn't want to be keel hauled over that. Apparently late war crews behaved better since the saw disappeared.
