At random: On August 17, 1958, the USS SKATE circumnavigated the globe in about fifty minutes. The SKATE was at a radius of about two miles from the North Pole at the time, and the distance traveled in the circumnavigation was about twelve miles.

Holy Crap; you mean that desolate liberty port was really Manitou Island?

No, not that secret exposed! Next they will reveal that there were really four extra FBM crews. Used to confuse the Russian spy network. They usually deployed to Idaho's Bob Marshall Wilderness area. Hunted and fished for 105 days then returned to Charleston. While the Blue crew supposedly relieved them. It must have worked, because when the Russians signed the treaty, they kept insisting there were 43 for Freedom, not 41. Wasn't Steamboat on one of those crews?

Ya got that all wrong, Walt. That is the Confederate Navy making incursions into the Yankee Nation, making contact with the Yoopers to see if they want to join us in seceeding and forming a Blue- Gray alliance. It was determined that only the UP had a high enough redneck population to dare this patriotic scheme. Ultimate plans are to throw a Tomahawk missle at the Big Mack and sever all ties with the Trolls and Fudgies downstate.
The new capital of the state Yooperland will be located at Grand Marais where the Yooper Navy will also be based. An alliance wiil be sought with Canada to exclude all but essential cargo thru the Soo Locks for the new Nation. Regular flights from the newly reactivated Stonewall Jackson Air Force Base (Formerly known as KI Sawyer) will patrol the airspace and diplomatic flights will be made to the new Confederate capital located in Kings Bay, Ga.
This is all very classified, so don't tell Sid, Billy Bob or any of their die-hard Yankee friends.
