<HTML>Interesting site, altough i don't know what to think of the following

Detailed research indicates that while it was true DORADO was bombed by what is today termed "friendly fire," she was not sunk. In fact, our research presents strong evidence to indicate that DORADO was caught in neutral buoyancy and drifted with a dead crew for some 900 miles over a period of two months before running aground off the Caribbean coastline of Mexico. During World War II the Caribbean coastline of Mexico was nothing more than a mosquito-infested swamp pockmarked by ancient Mayan ruins; today it boasts such popular tourist sites as Cancun, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Adventuras and points further south. There, covered by white Caribbean sand, lies what is believed to be the remains of DORADO and her crew.


Regards,
Brian

P.S.
I also send an e-mail to Paul R. Yarnall the WebMaster And Manager of NavSource Naval History site, maybee he can be of some assistance.</HTML>
