That sub skipper may have only sunk one Japanese ship, but what a score!

It takes a special type of person to be on a sub.

I am Not one.

Interesting story. A friend was on the first nuclear sub a long time ago, he went for being under polar ice to sitting on the bottom of an unfriendly harbor. It does indeed take a special kind of person to crave sub duty.
