That is totally cool!

I've seen it; it's pretty cool. It was one of the things I looked for during that two or three hour surfing session I pulled when I first installed Google Earth--and, yeah, it's there.

If you're ever in Chicago hit the Museum of Science and Industry and tour the U-505. It's the only submarine ever boarded and captured on the high seas during wartime. It's in mint condition; every two weeks they crank up the diesels and charge the batteries.

The story of the capture is amazing, and I strongly recommend that anyone with the faintest interest check out the books "U-505" and "Eight Bells" by Admiral Dan Gallery. He was a brilliant writer. Those two books are actual non-fiction; for splendid examples of the "sea story" genre, find copies of Gallery's "Stand By to Launch Aircraft," "Away All Boats," and "Captain Fatso." You won't be able to stop reading them, I gorantee.

Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do some research about this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I am very glad to see such magnificent info being shared freely out there.
