At random: USS R-6 was fitted the first prototype US submarine snorkel at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in the closing months of the European part of WW II in April / May 1945 and successfully tested it off Fort Lauderdale, Fl. as the war against Japan ended in August 1945. The snorkel was removed from the USS R-6 and she was decommissioned and scrapped in September 1945.

DIVERS have discovered the final resting place of 58 sailors who died 77 years ago during World War II when their submarine was sunk by the Luftwaffe.

Someone regrettably does not know the difference between sonar and radar. Similar concept of use but somewhat different material to start with. Son and Rad seem to give it away a bit, don't they.
