1.) If it wasn’t, Kopechne would have been on “Unsolved Mysteries”, and “The Swimmer” would have been president.

2.) Technically, it was his Nazi-loving mother’s Oldsmobile Delmont.

UB-36? May have been hit by a freighter or may have hit a mine.

I had a neighbor that was a USCG, and one of his stories was about a sub that went down on a training mission just before the US entered WWII, and didn't come back up. He was adamant that it wasn't the Squalus. (He'd met some of the survivors in Kittery/Portsmouth.)

Sure enough, the US Navy reactivated a number of WWI-era boats for training, and the O-9 was the last of three O-boats that day to do a practice dive, and was lost.

He was assigned to a cutter at the time, and it went out to the rescue attempt.

You gotta think that some Redneck Militia Guy was fishing and saw it splash, changed to a big treble hook and went dragging, hooked it and has that Broken Arrow stashed in the Barn waiting for some Ruski to start something.

I wonder was lb test was for the line he used?

Saw that movie Saturday night.
Great movie. Great ending.

And think how they lived.
No modern kitchen, limited fresh water for drinking and none for bathing, wear the same clothes day after day until they stood upright on their own, willing to sell your soul for ten minutes top side just to get fresh air.
They were appropriately called pig boats.

This is a picture of the model UB-II, which was the type of sub found:

23 men can actually fit in that thing? How?

Old submariner secret... NSFW. ;)

Can’t be UB-40, they were still making records in the 80’s.

Crick, holler, yonder, reckon, ain’t (sometimes) ... some mountain people here still sound a lot like Euros, since they tend to keep to themselves.
After all this time, I’ll bet those Heines will be glad to get out of that tin can.
