At random: A submarine, the TURTLE, was employed by the American revolutionary army to attack the British. It was built by David Bushnell at Saybrook, Connecticut, just a few miles from the present site of Electric Boat Division of the General Dynamics Corporation, and the U.S. Naval Submarine Base.

Wow!
The below excerpt is the first I've heard of the Jap pilots issuing cease fire orders on the Pearl Harbor control freq:

Miller: I dashed down to the radio shack and startedthe ball rolling. We came up on every important frequency I could thinkof. The harbor frequency was the one on which all the importantmessages were coming over. The first message I copied was: “Air raid onPearl Harbor. This is no drill!” Next was a message for all ships toget underway. Then the frequency became almost useless due to the Japscausing interference and sending out messages for all to cease fire.
