America or I should say the USN gave away a lot of old boats after WWII ...
They even gave a WWII war submarine that made a war patrol against Japan to Japan ... Figure that one out. I was at Mare Island in San Francisco, in the yards on the USS Salmon SS-573 back in the mid 60's, when the Navy was finishing up a fram II WWII boat for the Turkish navy ... the crew was crazy. I mean regular submarine sailors are crazy, but these guys would take the boat out and dive leaving one of the deck hatches open. They would have to come back up, close the hatch and take her down again. Plus if one of the Turkish sailors got in trouble ashore, you know misbehaving or showing disrespect for their countries uniform, they would just take the boat out past the three mile limit and hang the guy.
