At random: "We shall never forget that it was our submarines that held the lines against the enemy while our fleets replaced losses and repaired wounds." -- Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz

Subject: Once again Fox News has goofed...

Fox News just posted an article about the Navy's confirmation of the Grunion find. Unfortunately, once again they goofed on photos. One of the photos shows a Gato class boat from the bow, unfortunately it isn't the Grunion. It is a late war photo of a Gato with the fairwater cut down. Worst of all, the last photo in their series shows a JAPANESE I-400 CLASS SUBMARINE and identifies it as the Grunion!!

I really like Fox News, but who in the hell is running their research department?

Remember that to the average civilian a submarine is a submarine is a submarine. They can not distinguish one from the other. I am sure that there is no one at Fox that would know anything about submarines.
