  1. I was in the same navy during the Cold War and the rule of thumb in the North Atlantic is that once you go over the side and are immersed, you have 4 (four) minutes before you become unconscious from Hypothermia. Death follows soon after. These days there are floater suits and exposure suits to extend that somewhat but they simply didn't exist during WWII. Escorts were not allowed to stop because it was too dangerous to risk them as well and in the Norwegian Sea, it as futile as four minute isn't enough time anyway. Later in the war, rescue vessels were added to convoys but in near 0°C waters, few survive. They say that it's a gentle death freezing unconscious before you drown.

  2.  @davidford3115  They interviewed those who died when the Titanic sunk extensively and .... nothing!

  3.  @davidford3115  You apparently didn't read my comment in the first place. I was talking about your 4 minutes of swimming time before you pass out due to hypothermia (your body redirects blood flow away from their brain where 80% of it is under normal circumstances) to protect your core. Then you drown but you are already unconscious and are not aware you're drowning. Inflatables, collapsibles are irrelevant to this. A lucky few on thee Murmansk Run may have ended up in a Carly Float IF conditions were just right for them to get free of a sinking ship. Corvettes were known to go down completely in less than a minute. Merchantmen did not have Carly Floats. 22 man auto inflating life rafts were two decades in the future. Collapsible B is a WHATABOUT, WHATABOUT thing. It' is classic internet substitution of apples and orangutans. Read material more closely before you blindly and insultingly WHATABOUT another's comments. BTW, tell us about YOUR naval service on the North Atlantic. I've sailed in waters that are literally one degree above freezing. Those icebergs are gorgeous,.

  4.  Young Donald  What never happened? You're as delusional as Old Donald. You know, we had a family friend (passed away now) who served on the Canadian corvette HMCS Wetaskiwin and the destroyer HMCS Sioux escorting convoys full of supplies and armaments to Murmansk. He was awarded a medal for his service by the Soviet Union in the late 1980s.

  5. Yeah. Your Orange God King is still cheering for Putin. Maybe, we'll get to see the "pee-pee" video soon!

  6.  @davidford3115  "nothing? You mean like your pointless response?" No, that was the response of the dead that they fished out of the water from Titanic and buried in Halifax. (English is your second language, perhaps?) How did the exposed survivors in rafts know what it's like to drown while unconscious? Try to piece this one together. Seriously!

  7.  @onerva0001  I have been immersed in VERY cold water for a brief period and it is extremely painful ... shocking enough to cause cardiac arrest. However, we are talking about people jumping clear of a sinking ship. They will experience extreme pain but after around four minutes of immersion, they won't feel much or anything at all. The pain doesn't last. You go numb, then unconscious, then you drown..

  8.  @moonbind  Hopefully not but it is part of the contract that you enter in to.
