Keep your red mitts off and just give us the GPS location.

Maybe we can loan them the Glomar Explorer so they can salvage the Wahoo.

mybae the Russians can "update" their technology with what they find on the World War II sub.

Damned decent of them to share the data on the location.
We will, of course, leave the boat where she rests. As is proper.

"Mush" Morton was the skipper Dick O'Kane XO'd for before he commanded a sub of his own in WW2.
For those who don't know, these two are a pretty big deal in the submariner community.

"The Wahoo was sunk by the Japanese navy as it returned from its seventh patrol on Oct. 11, 1943. All 79 crewmen died." Bush's fault.

The U. S. lost a number of submarines during WWII. but nowhere near as many Russian subs that litter the Earth's sea-bed all over the world.
U. S. subs were lost to enemy action or wartime accidents. Russian nuke subs were lost to lousy construction and inept operations.
Russian nuclear subs were about as reliable as the Yugo or East German Trabent automobile.

Besides his great bravado, Capt. Morton should also be remembered for his "The only good one is a dead one" attitude.
In fact, the incident in which his crew fired on survivors was feared to be a major problem in his future, which became moot with the loss of the boat.
I suppose the irony was Navy Department politics were fierce at a time when they shouldn't have been. Many fine officers were relegated to the rear because of such bickering.
