Wyoguns Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Just read an article on the “Hardar”… a submarine that fought in WWII in the Pacific Theater….not to be confused with what @Nevada Convert mom screams in my ear. Found her recently laying in around 3,000 feet of water in remarkably good condition after 80+ years under water. Always interesting when they find these old wrecks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would pole our boats on flats that had unexploded ordnances. Navy finally caught up and blew them up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
