Wimble Willy

Was the identity of "Wimble Willy" ever made? This was the contact made by USCGC Dione off Wimble Shoals in 1942. In one account, Captain David Oliver, USCG (Ret.) stated: "Whatever it was down there was the same length of a submarine, width of a submarine and it looked like a submarine. We were pretty sure we sank it. In fact it is still used as a fishing ground off Cape Hatteras. Divers have verified our claim."
