Re: SUBMARINE OR PHANTOM TARGET? A Search For The Truth

Al:
I have your e-mail and your letter regarding the submarine activities. 
Comments/Observations: When I was on the R-1-676 boat from Sep, 51' -
Dec, 51 and on the R-1-667 Dec, 51 - Nov, 52 and on the U-1197 Nov, 52 - Jun, 
53, I do not nor do I know of any of our troops that have any knowledge of 
sub activity. However, There were boats up there from sometime in 1950, and 
in 1951 prior to my arrival (re, Alan Bishop).
What would be helpful would be some Latitude/Longitude coordinates for marine 
chart review   these subs were sighted/engaged. Perhaps the Japanese sunken 
wrecks that were subjected to ASW have the same coordinates or operated in 
the same sea lane courses. 
Further I only know of the following ships in our operational are (re, Chodo) 
from my experience:
Royal Dutch Navy: Eversten, HMS Belfast, HMCS Athabaskan, USS destroyer 
(unk), USS Pelican, Minesweeper, HMS (unk) aircraft carrier.
The only ship that really stayed around any length of time was the HMS 
Belfast, cruiser, the Commodore was the local area C.O.. She is moored in the 
Themes River in London as a Naval Museum. Her logs may help. 
For Ed Evanhoe: The only officer's names I can recall from the 6004th Air 
Intelligence Special Services during my time were; Nichols and a Captain 
Thomas. There was a Major with whom I had constant confrontation (unk).
