The biggest hunk of titainum I've seen is the ball of the ball valve of the TDU(Trash Disposal Unit) on a old S-Class attack submarine or first gen Ballistic missile submarine, same unit in either................I'm toasted! Chocolates kicking in!
It surprised me on how light it was. I can't grasp how expensive it must have been way back then when it was built.

You know Subs?
A guy tried to get me involved in a treasure hunt claiming that batteries designed to discharge in a burst were in certain torpedos and had many pounds of silver. AUTEC shot many into the Bahamian test range that were never recovered. Have you ever heard of them?
When I figured the resources needed to salvage anything from 3500' to almost 7000', back then, I passed.

Falling through the ice and walking home soaked and freezing. for one.

@Feenix ..... .......

Semi-naked skater falls through the ice in Amsterdam

A daredevil fell through the thin ice on a canal in Amsterdam as Dutch people ignored Covid-19 advice to skate on the famous waterways which froze over for the first time in three years.

Never heard of something like that, and the depth is comical.

That's what I said, not as eloquently.
Today it would be expensive but doable. Any not in the depths off the Tongue Of The Ocean were recovered.

I was saying in the staff room yesterday I Wonder how many people will be caught out with burst pipes @WildBill

With it not being so cold for so long people Forget about stuff like lagging pipes and draining outdoor taps.

Coldest for 30 years they are saying........let's Hope it doesn't hang around.

It is on it's way up the Jetstream to the UK too...........I Hope it swerves Spain........

Yeah, I worked on those black turds at SUBASE PEARL for 4 years. I had my shore duty extended two friggin times to stay there. It was a good duty station in the big picture. I learned a hell of a lot of things and got to really show my leadership abilities. I went there not knowing much about subs and left being the LPO(Leading Petty Officer) for the shop as an E-6 when it was an E-8 billet. I got a cool division officer in right after getting there. He was a Warrant Officer, so he knew what it was to be an enlisted guy. He soon realized what I could do and he loaded up my young ass! When the shop got in a burned out alcoholic Bubblehead(submariner) as leader, got got rid of the micro-managing bastard, He gave me the job. I had the position for 6 months before a replacement came in. At least I got "Jesus Christ" evals while stationed there. I walked above the water! LOL!
