Sorta like WW II where the RCN sunk a German sub of the coast of Atlantic Canada and some of the German sailors still had ticket stubs from a movie theatre in Pictou Nova Scotia in their pockets.

I heard that it was from the old Capitol movie theater on Gottingen Street.

No - that was the other German sub - they had to split up the wolf packs due to theatre seating restrictions  ;)

If I were the Pentagon and this story was true, I'd dispute it too!  :)

Actually, I'd think the Pentagon would play along with it to show that they need more funds for ASW.

why worry about nuclear subs when the national economy could be cratered by computer attack

or socially by satanic beasts scanning children's palms to be their minions

way cheaper
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

Looks like a shill for the defense contractors to whip up a need for more Virginias.

If you're right then consider that given the upcoming automatic budget cuts this is probably an opening salvo.
