I'm just pissed over the hour I spent researchin' this crap!

I had posted on the side-paddle wheeler USS Sable, previously, and there was never an attack on the training carrier.

OK, I'll keep that statement in my mind.

K-159 lies on the sea floor at 240 meters, along with its two nuclear reactors still containing 800 kilograms
of spent nuclear fuel with an estimated amount of radioactivity of some 600,000 Curie.
The waters outside the Kildin island, where K-159 sank, is one of the best joint fishing areas.
Russia has leased the fishing gounds to Norway as far as i know

The stern of the Sub wasn't visible or we might have figured it out earlier although RobbieRob had it pegged. August also figured out the locks. I didn't know if there were locks there or not back then .

This is a complete hoax, there is no way a U-boat could have penetrated into the great lakes un-detected. There is only one sunken U-boat in lake Michigan, the UC-97. It was a war prize at the end of WWI and brought into the lakes on tour before it was sunk in 200ft of water off Chicago. It's a UCIII type minelayer and was discovered in the 90's by A&T salvage.

http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/ is a satire news site. It is a well done story. Normally, the stories get outlandish enough that you can tell it's fake. This story maintained a reasonable perspective.

In Conway's All The World's Fighting Ships 1922-1946 It shows
U-791 launched in 1942
Displacement: 600t/645t
Dimensions: 170 ft 11in oa x 13ft 1in x 18ft.
Machinery: 1 shaft. 2 MWM diesels plus 2 Walter turbines and 2 electric motors, 150bhp/2180 + 75shp = 9.3 kts
Armament: 2-533mm TT (bow sub; 6 torpedoes)
Complement: 25.
Ex- V300

I typed this directly from the book.
But going to other Uboat sites I do not find this sub listed

Sailor Steve · 03-12-16, 12:11 PM

U-791 is listed at ubot.net. You just have to know where to look.
http://uboat.net/boats/nc_791.html

Also http://www.navypedia.org/ships/germany/ger_ss_v300.htm

It would seem, however, that the mysterious 'UX-791' never existed. I can't find any reference to that number other than these reports, which seem to be a hoax.

Well that explains the buggy 'no wintergarden' conning tower for a 1943 U-boat. http://uboat.net/fates/losses/1943.htm and no mention here either. U791 was ordered but never completed...http://uboat.net/boats/nc_791.html ... http://uboat.net/types/walter.htm

Quote:

A compromise design of a 600-ton boat called V-300 (XVII, later called U-791) that would reach some 19 knots submerged was proposed and construction started at Germaniawerft but was cancelled when Walter found the design to be too slow and proposed his own version of smaller vessels of some 220 tons.

Methinks we done been had!

Wonder how much if it is true-I guess the author of the article hear what he or she wanted to hear and filled in the rest.

If true it would have been a world wide story, even if they just found the wreckage of the ship.

At a guess, none of it, seeing it is from the same source as the 'UX-791' story.

This on the other hand seems entirely believable.

How??
