From: nick royall, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes they were, it was the last time they were used in anger although they were issued on other ships during WW2. Apparently only one german soldier resisted when facing cold steel, the loss of his hand with his pistol still in it persuaded the others that the cutlass was still something to be reckoned with. The tactical and psychological effects must have been quite good.
