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.

My sorrow extends only to there may be one less Chinese restaurant here.

I have been reading about this off and on since mid August.

It is no surprise if the Chinese are trying to keep it quiet in order to "save face" as their saying goes.

They have managed to keep many things quiet over the years by just saying "nothing happened" or "nothing to see here"

If it happened, I feel sorrow for the families of the crew.
