Since we are now discussing 'nautical' topics, a single Death snail can viscously attack and kill a blue whale without remorse. Although snails have no teeth, they can unhinge their jaw and swallow the whale whole. The whale is then digested in the belly of the Death snail. A process that can take a very long time and produces enormous snail turds. Neither the whale or snail wear Captain's insignia. Draw your own conclusions.
