How to Sink a Sub with Potatoes - Insane WWII Sea Battle Food Fight

It's early spring, 1943, and the US is at last finding its footing in the war in the Pacific. Devastated by the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the US Navy was forced to concede territory after territory to the superior Japanese Navy. For a year, the American Destroyer USS O'Bannon has been on the front lines of the second world war, doing its best to buy time for America's new fleet to be built and launched.
The Battle of Guadalcanal has proven pivotal for American forces, and though the Americans lost the greater number of forces, it resulted in a strategic victory for the US Navy which saw attempts to reinforce Japanese bases repelled. For some, the war is officially in an upswing, and the momentum of battle is shifting across the war-torn Pacific. America's sleeping giant is well and truly awoken.

This is crazy to hear about, my great grandfather was in the US Navy uring WWII and he told me a story where he and his crew would try to throw lemons far enough to hit the Japanese stationed on land. His battleship would patrol this one coast in southern japan during the early stages of the war after japan had entered it. They did this because they knew the Japanese were not only under strict orders not to fire, but also because the Japanese were so prideful due to their Bushido code so they would get really angry and animated when you manage to hit them. He always always laughs when telling this story.

I once saw someone get hit in the face by an apple. With a potato, you absolutely do not need a gun to knock someone out, after which they'd probably fall off the sub and drown.

A friend of mine told me that her grandfather (or great grandfather, I can't remember exactly) got involved in one of these potato battles when he was in the navy during WWII. Apparently, he didn't realise what was being thrown back and forth (he assumed they were grenades), so he went on to throw them back as well. He also ended up taking a potato to the throat, which nearly killed him - he survived though.

[@jacksonpercy8044]
