Hi Don,
That is a fascinating story, I take it you were there at the time! Some questions - how did the Guadacanal crew find there way around the U-Boat? Are things sufficiently similar between submarines? But then why would a aircraft carrier engineering office know his way around a submarine anyway? Or are these things obvious enough to people who have a lot of marine engineering experience?
