I did notice the date,64 years ago today.

And that is a helluva name for a CO who lost his boat due to a malfunctioning head!

hah yah...that 'day in technology' piece that Wired Magazine does is pretty cool. I thought you guys might enjoy that. April 14th, 1945 seemed like it happened pretty late in the war. Forgive my naivety but when did uboats operate until?

Thanks for the welcome guys.
