| USS Nimitz (CVN 68), with her full air wing, at sea near the Persian Gulf, October 12, 1997. The carrier would operate in the Gulf to enforce United Nations sanctions against Iraq by patrolling the "No-Fly" zone during Operation Southern Watch. The Nimitz Battle Group was directed to the Gulf early by the Secretary of Defense after Iraqi planes breached the zone several times in the previous week. |

Canada:
C class destroyer HMCS Assiniboine's propeller showing damage after an encounter with a U-Boat, March 1943.
U-119, a Type XB minelayer on her first patrol, which doubled as transfer from Germany to France. These were massive submarines for WWII at 2,710 tons submerged, necessary for the 30 mine tubes that carried 66 large SMA moored mines, but also had two torpedo tubes and 7 torpedoes internally. These were often used to resupply other submarines like the more well known Type XIVs, and the eight external torpedoes were, according to the manual, “designated for transfer to other boats”. The note on uboat.net reads:
