OK, so when did a Japanese sub *shell* Seattle, as you claimed?

Now, if you had said that a Japanese sub had launched an airplane which
bombed Oregon and started a forest fire, that would be pretty far
fetched but is actually the truth. Or that a different Japanese sub had
shelled a oil refinery in California.

BTW have you realized yet that this is a different newsgroup, Jax?
