Sailors are very creative ... can you imagine finding this in a rice patty in North Vietnam?
http://www.eugeneleeslover.com/Humor/Toilet_bomb.html Yes, this really happened. Once again history is stranger then fiction, and a lot funnier.

BB's: 61, 62, 63, 64, & 'katie" bar the door!
1954: The only occasion all 4 Iowa class BB's were in formation:https://www.flickr.com/photos/konabish/6497548649/ <to enlarge) All four Iowa-class battleships steaming together (1954). Ship closest to the camera is USS Iowa (BB-61). The others are (from near to far): USS Wisconsin (BB-64), USS Missouri (BB-63) and USS New Jersey (BB-62). This was the only occasion that all four Iowa Class BB's were steaming in formation. Arguably; two years later...the most powerful surface armada the world ever saw. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2419375&postcount=39
