But still some of those you did answer indicate a pretty good
knowledge of the subject or a quick ability in Research either
way well done none the less

[Raptor1]

6 - the USS Skate, when she made that little trip around the pole in 1958?

10 - Hmm, I would guess at ships then, but if so than Aircraft came very close

9 - Whoops, WWI, wait a sec

EDIT: Either gunfire or mines, can't make up my mind

8 - the Trieste went almost 11,000m in the Mariana Trench, does that count?

11 - USS Barracuda (SSK-1)?

13 - is it the HMS Oxley which was unfortunatly sunk by Triton in September 10th, 1939?

[Mush Martin]

[quote=Raptor1]6 - Still incorrect

10 - Correct guess

9 - either correct or incorrect I cant make up my mind.

8 - Incorrect

11 - Incorrect

13 - Correct ( well done )

yer up to eight of thirteen

[Takeda Shingen]

Alright, here goes.

8--I'm pretty sure that a submarine will dive to the bottom. Whether or not you will be alive when you get there is another matter.

11--I think that you might be going after HMS Venturer. However, althought it was successful in its initial attack, no submarine during that war was designed with real ASW capabilities.

[Raptor1]

The sub will stop being a sub before it reaches the bottom...Subs don't go all the way down, mangled piles of metal and other assorted materials do

9 - I'm pretty sure It's mines

[fatty]

She'll go all the way to the bottom unless we stop her

[Mush Martin]

at All // 8 all the way to the bottom was what I was after
( I had to throw one curveball )
@ Raptor a broken sub is still a sub, but in this case just
a common joke.

@ TS nope. re: 11 in this case True forerunner would imply
a sub who's chief function of design was hunting subs.
not how capable it was.

[edit] Re:11 TS was off by approximately thirty years.

9, Mine
