Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] More youthful wetsub experiences

A story I heard comes to mind.  Supposedly a UBoat is still stuck 
inside a cave in a Norweigan fjord.  The legend says there were 
several of these caves the Kreigsmarine used to moor some of their 
boats to hide them from aerial recon. Again supposedly during one 
of the "tallboy" and "blockbuster" bombings by the RAF, the boat 
was forever sealed inside.  I can't find any written evidence but 
it does sound good though.
