Nautical WWII History Help

[annunaki]

I saw a photo years ago of a US WWII Submarine that had lost all power and created nautical history when her resourceful crew stripped all the canvass mattress supports (with grommet perimeters) , laced them together to create a huge Sail, fastened it to the Conning Tower and literally "Sailed" her back to safety.

I have not been able to find any information so----

I thought with our vast membership, someone might be able to help me nail this down.

Any takers ???

I believe that's R-14, but it happened much earlier.

good detective work. I took the liberty of fixing the URL.

What was wrong with it?

the closing parenthesis was there but outside the hyperlink so it took you to a wikipedia "not found but we found something like it" page.

testing: Don't click the link below...

apparently not your fault. I just tried cut and paste and the above is what happens. Obviously VB parsing a link to put the {/URL} end tag thinks a paren on the end is not part of the link. A VB bug... See how the closng paren is not underlined. If you reply wiith quote (but don't send ) you can see the HTML tags.

I don't see a bug report e-mail addy for VB and we're using vers 3.8.7 and they're selling Ver 5 now...

Rats, I thought I was going to be able to use my most obscure history book for something other than a door stop. Silent Victory chronicles each and every US submarine voyage in the Pacific during WWII. Why I have this tome, and what use I will ever make of it, remains a mystery.

Thank you.
What search terms did you use?

I honestly don't remember. I have to be pretty good with search strings for my job, it was probably just playing with different ordering of the common search terms. I started by looking at all the US subs before 1950, but that was boring.
