And I don't think anyone was "volunteered" for the Alabama's death ride. Photo #: NH 57483 Ex-USS Alabama (BB-8) A white phosphorus bomb explodes on a mast top, while the ship in use as a target in Chesapeake Bay, 23 September 1921. An Army Martin twin-engine bomber is flying overhead. http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/s...sh-a/bb8-t.htm |

Certainly wouldn't be fun for any crew out on deck... |
