Talk:USS Grayback (SS-208)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The original DANFS entry actually described the events of 5 January 1943 as involving "survivors of a crashed B-2." I have a hard time believing a Curtiss B-2 Condor was involved, tho perhaps a Northrop B-2 Spirit will have flown thru a time-warp.... I've guessed that it would have been a B-25 Mitchell, but I can't confirm it. Can anybody help? --the Epopt 17:30, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

The version at [1] says "B-25", but of course no way to know if it was adjusted during type-in. The incident is apparently too minor for Morison to mention. Stan 18:13, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Convoy tactics

[edit]

It has been said elsewhere that the Japanese Navy did not use convoy tactics. The Grayback article indicates that the Japanese did use such tactics at least on a small scale.

What an odd thing to say; of course they did.

Grayback found

[edit]

The New York Times has a new story about the discovery of the location of USS Grayback. See https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/navy-submarine-missing-for-75-years-is-found-off-okinawa/ar-BBWyxCp?ocid=spartanntp --SSW9389 (talk) 08:31, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The bomb which hit her was a Japanese type 99 armour piercing 250 kg bomb. Japan is a Metric country. 130.233.200.170 (talk) 14:25, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
