The good news is the water is relatively warm there ...the bad news in ...saltwater crocodiles.
Post #4: “in” - is
Yeah, first thing I thought of. During the fighting for Peleliu during the Pacific War, a Japanese battalion dug in on a small, low-lying island was destroyed in about 10 hours by swarms of crocs. American troops nearby heard screams and gunfire and grenades going off all night and wondered who the Japanese were fighting. When they moved in on the Japanese position in the morning, there were only about four survivors. The crocs had killed something like 500 Japanese troops.
The best news is probably the other ships getting to the scene so quickly.
