French Navy navigator here

Back in 2018, went underway from Toulon on the high sea patrol ship "Commandant Ducuing" for a routine patrol.

The sea was very rough out of the roadstead, coming from the west, which was completely contradictory with what our weather briefs were indicating. Captain decided to go ahead nonetheless .

We took a heading towards the east to enter Hyères Bay, when we entered in the pass, poo poo went down. I was outside, starboard wing of the bridge to take bearings when the ship took a 35 degrees list on starboard. If I had held my arm out, it would have been underwater. I held on the compass for dear life, because going overboard in that weather would have probably meant death. Needless to say, I shat myself.

When the ship leveled, my boss went out to check if I was still there, and ordered me to go below to check how bad the damage was to some of our gear. I went, and when I was at the main deck, the ship took a 43 degrees list to starboard. I was then blessed with the horrific sight of a washing machine that was strapped in a room by the hull on portside punch a hole through the bulkhead and go straight to starboard WITHOUT touching the deck. Also, a lot of the firefighting equipment (axes, hoses, pumps...) was just flying all over the place, with guys from the security department desperately trying to catch it and fasten it.

At that point, we had entered the bay and had better weather. We had lost electricity in the bridge and CIC, so the captain decided to wait in the bay for the weather to calm down. When it did the next day, we pulled back into port for repairs.

This little escapade resulted in two guys having broken limbs, the electrical network of the bridge and CIC beeing badly damaged (the guys that were supposed to strap down poo poo didn't do it correctly and got punished) and for me, a reminder of my mortality.

On a more positive note, I once saw a stork land on our 100mm turret after a sandstorm off Libya, and stay there for several hours. Also, we had a couple of sperm whales with a calf swimming alongside, for almost a day off Ivory Coast. When you see that kind of stuff, it doesn't matter if you are 3 months in or 20 years in. You feel like a kid again.

The straw mortar that broke the camel’s back.

Some rough back of the napkin math gives me roughly 65,712 ft/s^2 of acceleration for a projectile fired from a L16/M252 81 mm mortar. (50 in barrel length with a muzzle velocity of 740 ft/s) With a 10 lb HE round, that's 657,120 lb-f of recoil going into the camel's back.

I don't know how much force is needed to break a camel's back but one saving grace is that the mortar appears to be mounted to the camel's hump which is fat so will probably absorb some of the recoil. Still probably not good for the animal not to mention that I doubt it makes for a good stable firing platform especially after firing the first round.

EDIT: hosed up my units. Recalculated and holy poo poo. RIP Camel.

right, you're not going to get any kind of accuracy unless your mortar is firmly based on a solid surface

was just coming to post that. looks like he was a repair person who was under the urinal and got crushed. for anyone wondering, a telescopic urinal is one that pops up at night for the bar crowd to use, and retracts during the day.
