Just a Saturday morning in the Norwegian Sea, some 80 years ago today:

Crew members of the British carrier HMS Furious have an early breakfast of ham sandwiches and hot cocoa around an eight-barrel 2-pdr “Pom Pom” QF Mark VIII AA gun after successful attacks on German convoys off Kristiansund, Norway on 6 May 1944. Fairey Barracuda and Supermarine Seafire aircraft from Furious sank two enemy merchantmen– the tanker Saarburg and freighter Almora— that day.
