    Ok so next time you hear that creaking, scraping noise on the hull of your uboat i think you should start to panic!

    ARggggg!!! 20,000 leagues under the sea wasnt so far fetched!

    This thing is atleast half the size of your U-Boat (more if you are in unlucky enough to be in a type II) rofl

    your probably right, its not half the size of a uboat...its twice the size of a C3 cargo

    i just hope it iron deficient, a nice little uboat full of warm blooded iron x wearing ppl may well satisfy beastie for a while

    Saw that on the news tonight, I can't believe someone finally got a shot of a giant squid. I looked into it after the news and read that the images were actually from last year and that the Japanese are just now showing it. Wonder why the delay?

    Also, watch out for the EisBar!

    Hide the bananas...they're hungry!

    Three Polar bears approach the starboard bow of the Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine USS
    Honolulu (SSN 718) while surfaced 280 miles from the North Pole. Sighted by a lookout from the bridge
    (sail) of the submarine, the bears investigated the boat for almost 2 hours before leaving. Commanded
    by Cmdr. Charles Harris, USS Honolulu while conducting otherwise classified operations in the Arctic,
    collected scientific data and water samples for U.S. and Canadian Universities as part of an agreement
    with the Arctic Submarine Laboratory (ASL) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). USS Honolulu is
    the 24th Los Angeles-class submarine, and the first original design in her class to visit the North
    Pole region. Honolulu is as assigned to Commander Submarine Pacific, Submarine Squadron Three, Pearl
    Harbor, Hawaii. U.S. Navy photo by Chief Yeoman Alphonso Braggs. (RELEASED)
