THE NORTH ATLANTIC — Talk about courage on the high seas! When Navy Capt. Oral Mendelson's ship hit an iceberg, he didn't hesitate or jump overboard like a coward: He took the bit in his mouth and went down on the entire ship.

"It wasn't even sinking," said Cmdr. Luis Sanchez, the ship's executive officer. "But that's just the kind of captain he is, always taking care of his crew."

That type of bravery is tough to swallow!
