Always learning something new, just heard on the radio that George HW Bush’s jet fighter was shot down during WWII but he was rescued by a US submarine. I’ll bet it was by one of our nuclear subs!

We did not have nuclear subs until the late 1950’s

George H. W. Bush was not a fighter pilot. He was a war hero, but he flew a TBM Avenger torpedo bomber in the Western Pacific.

Ah, modern journalism. Ain’t it wunnerful?

Oh, and the sub used GPS to locate him.

Not many nuclear subs in WW II.

Please review USS Nautilus.

LOL!
Not only that he was the first to use twitter to communicate that his plane was shot.
