And maybe Vic you have suggested something else. What if instead of planes we stick missles in the hangar. Im sure there was someting about how the hangar was made to keep water out that was top secret at the time. There were probably a lot of good reasons we did NOT want to share Japanese submarine technology with the Soviets - just like we didn't want to share rocket or nuclear technology with them. Even during the War, we recognized that after the Axis powers were defeated, we and the Soviets would be adversaries ..... Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Here's a pic of the JB-2, aka the 'Loon', a V1 derivative(an almost exact copy, except for the paint and a few details) being launched in 1951 from the USS Cusk.

And the Loon was an early ancestor of both the Regulus and Polaris/Poseidon/Trident submarine-launched missile systems Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

This is what a modern Russian submarine look like. And the old Triton II that probably still are lurking in our waters. |

A submarine I have just got intrested in is the Japanese Sen-Toku class. The sub that could carry 3 airplanes. The US had posesstion of 2 of them after the war and studies then. The sank them to keep the Russians from studying them. The sole mission of these boats was to destroy, or at least seriously damage, the Panama Canal.

Used to help build these, many years ago... Nice Flag. The English combined with the UK flag:) This is how our flag looked like when Sweden, Sapme and Norway was an union in the 19th century. As a kid about 8, 9 years I was onboard a sub. Still remember how cramped it was. And funny round doors:) |

I, and many others, have a world of thanks we owe to you vets. OT: Well I kind of doubt there are too many people here who have Dads who were in the 3rd Army in Europe during WWII, since My Dad was a Medic and was someone who saved lives when possible(368th Medical, recommended for 2 commendations for His paperwork on Allied and POW Patients, 1942-1946). He's at least this redheads hero, if nothing else, though it's too bad He never told Me, I found this out after His death from My Sister in law, the retired RN, who He confided in, as He thought I'd never understand, I at least have a First Aid merit badge(at age 12, in 1 day, no less).

Prior to his last day of work responds Supreme Commander in a DN interview questions about the submarine search in the Stockholm Archipelago on 17 to 24 October last year. - I am absolutely sure that Sweden was violated in October. I am even more convinced today than then. The final analysis that we conducted is broader and much deeper, says Sverker Göranson. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=sv&sl=sv&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dn.se%2Fnyheter%2Fsverige%2Fob-vi-gjorde-fynd-pa-land%2F It's almost imposssible to find a submarine in the Baltic Sea. Different saline content and temperatures is a problem for detectors. Then in the Stockholm Archipelago where you can hide almost everywhere... |
