So, do you think the radio stations also did that during WWII? I'd hate to
think that there were German subs getting lost at Coney Island!



I don't know if radio regs changed in WWII, but if they did if probably
would
not have been because of German submarines. Radio waves don't penetrate
water
more than about two inches. I do know at least one German sub was sunk in
the
Potomac and one or many more in Long Island Sound. I don't know that any
German subs fired on the US mainland. Do know that at least one Japanese
sub
fired on Seattle, with little damage.


ROFLMAO Where do you find this stuff?

I really like the bit about how subs wouldn't use radio because it can't
penetrate water! As if u-boats actually traveled underwater!
