I was born 14 years and 8 days after a ship my father was stationed on was torpedoed off of the coast of Iceland by U-132.

Speaking of births & sinking ships, my father-in-law was born the day the Lusitania sank.

(He's long gone, so I'm not worried about his identity being stolen ..... except perhaps by the Cook County Clerk of course).
