    One of a kind

    The only known audio recordings of a WW2 U.S. submarine attack on Japanese shipping, able to be made because a war correspondent left his audio recorder behind when he left the ship. Quite the piece of history here.

    Pretty cool. I imagine this is of particular interest to you, Doug.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I found it quite interesting, Carl. There's a good bit of terminology there that's not used anymore, although it was still in use early on in my career. It was also interesting to hear those guys do for real what I only had to do in practice (thankfully).
