Death toll during USS Cochino rescue
editThis USS Tusk (SS-426) article currently states ... another wave broke over her deck washing away the civilian and 11 Tusk crewmen. Only four sailors were subsequently rescued, implying a death toll of eight, but USS Cochino (SS-345) currently states Six sailors from Tusk were lost during the rescue, contradicting this. Anyone here have access to the references? -- 110.49.224.157 (talk) 23:19, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
A 2005 episode of Deep Sea Detectives on the Military History Channel, viewed from 9:00 until 10:00 p.m. on August 11, 2013, gave the total death toll as seven men. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.75.5.239 (talk) 01:50, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
Perhaps the Cochino officer who was being resuscitated was washed over board and lost but was counted as a Tusk sailor? Ealtram (talk) 14:43, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
Steam
editDiesel submarines don't "steam" anywhere. Neither do Diesel locomotives. Ealtram (talk) 14:37, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
- Wikt:steam#Verb defines 'to steam' as To move with great or excessive purposefulness. -Cake~talk 16:54, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
