Thanks for passing this along, Paul. First I've heard of it. I was only a year and a half old when it happened so was not glued to the radio then but find it very interesting today. There are some videos about the sinking of the Flying Enterprise on YouTube (see the posting by PositivFritid, which also includes footage of Dancy) and one with a nice song inspired by Captain Carlsen's heroism (see posting by donmeehan).

Thanks Harold What with all the fuss about the Nautilus, and the stories relating to her fuel rods and the loss of the Flying Enterprise, I thought it a strange coincidence that the obit for Vice-Admiral Eugene Wilkinson, then, prospective captain of the Nautilus, appeared in the same edition of the Telegraph ! <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/military-obituaries/naval-obituaries/10236114/Vice-Admiral-Eugene-Wilkinson.html> Paul On Sun, 11 Aug 2013 16:09:49 -0400 (EDT), [email protected] wrote: >Thanks for passing this along, Paul.
