Japanese Aircraft-Carrying Super Submarine From WWII Located Off Hawaii

Freshly Exhumed sends this story from Reuters: "Scientists plumbing the Pacific Ocean off the Hawaii coast have discovered a Second World War era Japanese submarine, a technological marvel that had been preparing to attack the Panama Canal before being scuttled by U.S. forces. The 122-meter 'Sen-Toku' class vessel — among the largest pre-nuclear submarines ever built — was found in August off the southwest coast of Oahu and had been missing since 1946, scientists at the University of Hawaii at Manoa said. The I-400 and its sister ship, the I-401, which was found off Oahu in 2005, were able to travel one and a half times around the world without refueling and could hold up to three folding-wing bombers that could be launched minutes after resurfacing, the scientists said."

I can't stop reading that last sentence of yours... I mean, I'm no grammar expert, but I can't tell if it really needs any punctuation in it. Hell, I don't *want* it to have any punctuation in it!

DAYUM!

"able to travel one and a half times around the world without refueling"

Even their SUBMARINES get great mileage!

Well, Hitler actually declared war on the United States first, not the other way round,

The US was well involved in the war against Germany already. They just don't like _declaring_ war. At least not on countries, just abstract nouns.
