Last week, while hauling butt for the beach in a US Navy
RHIB from destroyer, two of our guys got whacked (one in the
face) by flying fish. It was in the middle of the night; so
maybe the fish couldn't see where they were going.

They probably didn't have their running lights on - a habit of many
navy vessels on maneuvers (Heard and seen that from various
countries). How to you expect the poor flying fish to detect which
direction your boat is going, eh?

While sailing from Hong Kong to the Philippines many years ago, I was
"initiated" by flying fish coming aboard at night. We had to clear the
deck of them each morning.

Well, it seems to me that they (fish) should conform to the norm of
submarines. They turn on running lights when surfacing.
