Thanks Longam, an interesting little article. That 12 hrs sitting on the bottom of the Yellow Sea mut have been an exhausting combination of buttock-clenching fear and mind-numbing boredom. Kudos to anyone who can put up with this for a living!:o

Of all U.S. armed forces during World War II, no one suffered a higher percentage of casualties than the submariners. One in five never again set foot on dry land.
Of the 16,000 submariners during the war, 3,506 were killed.
