 * ALT1:... that when HMS Safari (pictured) attacked small ships anchored in Ras Ali, the torpedo passed under, instead destroying the port's mole along 25 meters and killing five men? Source: https://uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/3430.html
 * Reviewed: Psalm 24
 * Comment: ALT0 would make a great quirky hook; ALT1 would be great in the lead slot.
