How a case of rations on a little ship recently beat a Japanese torpedo was told by Admiral Halsey during a visit to the Treasury Islands, which were recently occupied by’ New Zealand troops.

It passed through one side of the ship and also through a case containing glutinous rations, which fouled the firing mechanism, preventing the torpedo from exploding.
