U-166

Rainer:

Good to hear from you.

No, I left the U-166 off on purpose. It was thought to have sunk in shallow waters and be buried in the mud (w/o any mercury, of course) but it turns out to have been in 5000' of water. When I said 'no boats sunk off the US Gulf Coast', by coast, I meant in shallow waters - still on the continental shelf. 5000' deep is 'sunk in the open ocean' in my book, regardless of the distance from shore.

But thanks for bringing up the point!
