From the March 2015, Smithsonian magazine "Crikey" by Franz Lidz.
An article about saltwater crocodiles in the Pacific.
There are lots of stories about "salties" as they are called, killing humans.
But the worst devouring was reported in 1945, during the Japanese retreat in the Battle of Ramree Island in the Bay of Bengal. British soldiers encircled swampland through which Japanese soldiers were withdrawing. Nearly 1,000 of them are believed to have been munched to death by resident salties.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
