Reply to comment by MitsyEyedMourning in TIL in 1945 whilst firing at a kite for anti-aircraft practice, the gunners on Brazilian cruiser Bahia accidentally hit the ship's depth charges, causing an explosion that sank her. Survivors endured days of no food, high temperatures, and full exposure to the sun until they were rescued by holyhesh
The ship was not a submarine. At least not at first.

An FX swap agreement is a contract in which one party borrows one currency from, and simultaneously lends another to, the second party. Each party uses the repayment obligation to its counterparty as collateral and the amount of repayment is fixed at the FX forward rate as of the start of the contract.
FX swaps have been employed to raise foreign currencies, both for financial institutions and their customers, including exporters and importers, as well as institutional investors who wish to hedge their positions. They are also frequently used for speculative trading, typically by combining two offsetting positions with different original maturities.

Nukes or regular bombs? But I guess both are equally deadly from one foot away.
