Mush, how the heck did you know it was HMCS Prince David? You know your history. Yes, it was the PD. My father was XO for the Aleutians Campaign and then took over as CO and took it through the D-Day, Southern France and Greece invasions.

I don't think I have read Lockwood's book. I'll get it from the local naval museum library. The fact that the sub saw the racetrack is close enough. They probably enjoyed having a gullible kid as an audience. but it sure made my day. Thanks for the confirmation that the story had some truth.
