I have it on good authority a preliminary dive was just conducted at the quarry. An early dive was conducted due to the unseasonably warm weather. It was planned for the weekend but forecasts are calling for 2-3â€

Funny article, but I think not finding the B-8 and finding a T1, J1, and Q2 at the bottom of the quarry would have been far more rewarding!

Thanks but I figured U boats would sound better then T-1s with shark noses, whoa, wait a minute.... ;)

Maybe that's where the government stored captured WWII subs so the Soviets couldn't examine them?

is this another April Fools joke that is just still running or did you really find diesels down there? Or do you mean subs?

April Fool's. Besides the GE U boats are in the barn/tunnel with the NYC Hudson etc etc etc.
