FAQ's Editorial RULE 1: No graphic images of people murdered, blown up, dismembered, or similarly ripped up. If you must, you can use a link to the image and include the warning "Graphic image warning".

....would tend to preclude dead or dismembered sailors in the water(think 1945 USS Indianapolis sinking/sharks here) IMHO; afterall, we have minor kids in this forum whose parents might object. And then there's always the infamous Peleus Incident of WWII https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz-...20by%20U%2D852.
Quote:
Heinz-Wilhelm Eck (27 March 1916 – 30 November 1945) was a German U-boat commander of the Second World War who was tried, convicted, condemned and executed after the war for ordering his crew to shoot the survivors of a Greek merchantman sunk by U-852. Eck, Hoffmann, and Weisspfennig were sentenced to death. Weisspfennig was condemned because as a non-combatant under the Geneva Conventions, he was prohibited from firing weapons even in action. Eck and Hoffmann were executed because in their roles as the boat's senior officers, responsibility for the actions of their crew, as well as their own, fell directly on their shoulders. All three were shot by firing squad at Lüneburg Heath on 30 November 1945.[1] Lenz, due to his protests and his written confession, received a life sentence, while Schwender, the only man involved who had been under direct orders, was sentenced 15 years in prison. Schwender was released from prison on 21 December 1951; Lenz was released on 27 August 1952.
