<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#00008B">We added three entries to our [[Notable Submarine Accidents|'''Notable Submarine Accidents page''']]. They cover the calamitous stories of accidents that befell the E-2 (Submarine No. 25), S-5 (SS-110), and O-9 (SS-70). They are inspirational tales of both our Navy at its best, and unfortunately at its worst. Please check them out!

November 3, 2024

In addition, we have completed a rewrite of the S-20 page, adding new information that adds quite a bit to the story of this unique boat. We have also explored the Great Torpedo Scandal of WWII, which includes an alternate history scenario that lays out a plausible timeline of how the scandal could have been avoided. Take a look at this page to read about "Those Marvelous Tin Fish".

We have also moved some information to our Notable Submarine Accidents page, rounding out that list of USN submarine accidents.

We would love to hear from you! Please email us with questions, comments, or corrections at the email address listed at the bottom of this page.
