Well done! I'm up with a sick old 18 yearold beloved Burmese kitty. It is the USS Hayes depicted in the The Enemy Below-sunk by the Uboat's fused scuttle charge (on course 140

) but the real name was the USS Whitehurst, who's actual captain and crew were in the movie(as ship's engineer and seen abandoning the sinking Hayes) with Cort Jurgens, (depicted in HW3's sig photo.) The puzzle's photo is her actual sinking by USS Triggerfish to test a new torpedo in '71. A kamikaze attack in '45 killed 42 of her crew of 230 off Okinawa. I thought BuddhaBBy had it with the correct sub ship's # SS-237. But he demurred. Over to you!

All the best for the burmese kitty..

I was just lucky.. I had given up on that sub and looked for ships being sunk twice, again with no luck, and then for sinkings filmed, when i accidentally found this:

"Arriving at Pearl Harbor on 30 April 1957, Whitehurst underwent four weeks of upkeep and repairs before beginning six weeks of duty with 20th Century Fox during the filming of the World War II adventure film The Enemy Below. During that time, she portrayed the fictional destroyer escort "USS Haynes (DE-181)"."

SS-237 Trigger (the second US sub with this name), well i wonder why Budda did not go on.. right, the wiki does no mention the Whitehurst being sunk, but how did he get to SS-237 then at all?

Ok..

What is that? If we only had a "devil" icon ..

It would appear to be a sailing ship. American?

Catfish · 06-16-21, 07:23 AM

This is where SS-237 comes from. I just couldn't make the hollywood jump.

Was it a warship?

Aktungbby · 06-16-21, 10:38 AM

those yards and sails are narrow...:

is this a canal or inland river cargo vessel?

Jimbuna · 06-16-21, 12:21 PM

1800's?

Catfish · 06-16-21, 01:41 PM

@u crank: Yes, warship.

@AktungBby: "is this a canal or inland river cargo vessel?" Neither canal nor inland, and no cargo (see above)

@Jim: Not that old.

re u crank's first double-question: i only answered one of the questions..
