When I was quite young, I remember our family going to see a WWII submarine in Oklahoma. Thanks to the power of the Internet, I can now learn a lot more than I did previously.

The submarine is the USS Batfish and had a pretty good record. Perhaps I might make the journey back down there sometime. On that website are the ships logs, a good read. I especially like comments like:

Submarine changed course to south and dove. Although he was never positively identified, I was reasonably sure at the time that he was the BALAO. However, later intelligence as to the BALAO’s whereabouts contradicts this, so now I don’t know. This is the second time this situation has come up and each time I’ve closed too much while trying to get ahead of him and on his track in order to dive, identify him undetected, and fire either torpedoes or smoke bombs. Next time we will stay out of sight and use a OUIJA board.
