I'll drink to that.
maybe someone knows of this troop ship cum passenger liner that went down with 7000 (seven thousand) american troops. if we can trace that we can trace a little more of the authenticity of this gentlemans story....

as I recall there was a big US troop ship sunk somewhere off scotland in '42, I only recall this because it was alleged that one of the bodies was used in Operation Mincemeat (you'd know it better as "The Man Who Never Was") as the corpse they'd originally intended to use was rapidly decaying. As for the details of the loss of that ship, I've no idea.
