<HTML>I read a book years ago on USS Batfish. She was attacked by shore based patrol aircraft (Army I believe) while transitting the Carribean on the way to the Pacific. They crash dived and escaped unscathed. The ported that evening at the Carribbean end of the Panama Canal. Some of the crew got liberty, and while in one of the local waterholes, heard an aircrew celebrating thier sinking a U-boat that day. The sailor\'s congradulated the crew on their skill, and invited them down for a tour of their boat. Once the airmen had been given the 25 ceny tour the sailors said, \"Now that you know what an AMERICAN sub looks like, you won\'t attack any more. Will YOU!!!\" tjk </HTML>
