" The USS San Diego left the water of the Pacific Ocean and entered the
Atlantic Ocean via the Panama Canal for the first time during July 1917. She
served in the Atlantic as a convoy escort, at one time stopping at the port in
La Croisie, France. After removal of some of her 6-inch guns in Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, the San Diego steams to New York to meet up with a transatlantic
convoy. At 11:05 a.m. most the crew of the San Diego felt a dull thud which
originated from the port side engine room. The crew that worked in this area
must have experienced a large explosion as bulkheads were smashed in. The ocean
soon followed and within 20 minutes the USS San Diego gently rolled over and
was gone, along with six of her crew. It is amazing that 1,177 of the ship's
crew and officers were able to abandon ship in a such a short time.
The German submarine U.156 is credited with sinking the USS San Diego. The
submarine laid mines in the area where the cruiser was lost. Unfortunately we
will never know the details of the U.156 operations, as the submarine was sunk
on her return voyage after entering a mine field.
The USS San Diego today lies upside down about eleven miles southeast of
Fire Island inlet, Long Island, New York at Loran 26543.4 43693.2 in 115 feet
of sea water. "

Dude, that was in World War 1, and (as you pointed out) was not in Long
Island Sound.

BTW I goggled up a pretty good website with info & pictures of the ship.

Now, when did a U-boat ever patrol Long Island Sound, much less get sunk
there? How about the Potomac? And that IJN sub shelling Seattle? You've
come clean on one blooper, now you've still got some more 'splainin t'do.

On the 14th of January at 0448, for one. Just off Montauk Point. At 008:35
he fired his first torpedos, sinking the Norness, Captain Harold Hansen.
Without coastal charts, Captain Hardegen proceeded past Rockaway Beach and
into the Ambrose Channel. At 0140 on the 15th, while almost aground on
Long Beach,
he sank the Coimbra, 422', carrying 80,000 barrels of oil. He was attacked
the next day by bombers, but escaped.

Jax,

I really think its time for "ANOTHER TIME OUT" for you.

Your replies are so screwed up you are burying yourself. WW2 was 1941 to
1946

1917 was the time of WW1. You've got the wrong damn war, Jax. That is a
very big mistake.

I hope One of those degrees you earned Oh Mensa the Magnificent, wasn't
HISTORY :^)

TIME OUT FOR JAX--- see you later . Here he come REC SAILING

Ole Thom

Sub is a slang word for submarine;
U-boat is a designation for a German Sub;
S-boat is a designation for a type of Am Sub; P is another as well as
many other letter designation, BUT NO U designation, that is a
designation for a German Sub

If you don't want to accept that, so be it. Be happy in your ignorance
and your creators Junk business

Ole Thom
P/S give Susy my regards

WW2 started in 1939.

History must be the only subject that depends on which country you learn it

Steve,

Is that when the japs invade China? They were an Axis power. Are you
just talking about the war in Europe. I guess it is how you look at it.
When Japan attack Pearl Harbor it also attack the European Colonies and
the War truly became Globol and it was a World War for the 2nd time;
WW2.

We were attacked in the Pacific but went to war in Europe. I would say
that was the beginning of WW2 but that is the way I see it. Not saying
its right.

Ole Thom

Japan attacked China long before 1941. 1936 or 1937, as I recall, but might
have been much earlier.
