Especially if it was nitroglycerin.

I'm certainly curious. I just didn't see a reason to speculate until more facts are in hand...and don't call me "Sherlock".

I'm thinking Calendar, but I'm usually wrong at guessing games.

Gentlemen, you know your stuff

Allow me to leave you with another teaser :

"One of the benefits of an interest in WWII is the ability to speak, meet, and/or correspond with people who participated in the events and shaped them, each in his own small way, into what we read about today. One of the men I had the pleasure of meeting on many occasions was Admiral Erich Topp."

and.....

Quote:
"No discussion of submarine silencing would be complete without reference to the parallel development of the powerful BQQ-2 sonar system consisting of a low-frequency passive array(BQR-7) and a bow-mounted, 15-foot-diameter passive-active spherical array(BQS-6). The prototype of this system was installed in the USS TULLIBEE (SSN 597), the first nuclear submarine specifically designed to be the quietest submarine that could be built within the state of the art at that time(1958-1960). The idea first tried on TULLIBEE was to make the bow region as quiet as possible by moving the noisy bow planes to the sail and the torpedo tubes to a midships location below the control room."
