#4 ...As glad as I am that so many legendary subs - Wahoo, Lagarto, Grunion, Perch - have been found in the last year or so, is it just me or does it feel a little...well, unsettling that these boats have come back from the beyond at the same time? I'd like to think I'm not superstitious, but still..

#5 Shipman: on the website

they have quite a list of crewmen who survived the POW camp, but little information. Where did you find the lack of survivors info?
