At random: Leonardo da Vinci, the Florentine Renaissance inventor and artist, developed plans for an underwater warship but kept them secret. He was afraid that it would make war even more frightful than it already was.

With a long homeward bound pennant streaming aft, one of our subs crosses under the Golden Gate Bridge at the wars end in 1945. Al Jolson sings "California Here I Come" - enjoy!
