Biggest rat I ever saw was in CapeTown way back in the mid 50's. We had just finished fumigating and I was sitting with the 'crowd' on No. 1 hatch waiting for all the sealing tape to be taken down so they could go into the fo'c'sle accdommodation. Oit comes thi8s enormous creature. One of the AB's was playing with a hatch butterfly wing nut which he threw at it and got it dead centre. The fumigators took charge of yhe body as they were amazed it had survived the fumigation.
