I can just picture the sailors running up and down the stairs getting potatoes. What a ridiculous story.

Three of the four sailors in that picture are left handed. Unusual.

HMM, don't know about that but we did have a 2nd class Boats that wanted to hit a carrier with a shackle, he of been short but he'd have tried if he had one handy, carriers were a PIA at RAS.

wrt left handed sailors - picture is printed backwards, check how shirts are buttoned.

The O'Bannon was a general quarters, so there were no "unoccupied" sailors available to throw potatoes at the sub. So, the Captains' account is the more accurate of the tail.
