(Heard, via my scanner, on NYPD Citywide Special Operations Division's frequency 1 radio, mid afternoon, on New Years Day, 2008)

NYPD Special Operations Division Dispatch:"Units to check and advise. Report of a submarine in Hudson River by the George Washington Bridge."

Assorted units advised responding, including Harbor and Aviation.

SOD Lieutenant: "Central, did you say a submarine?"

NYPD SOD Dispatch: "Affirmative. Unconfirmed report via a cellphone"

My questions remain unanswered:

1) What recreational pharmaceutical was the caller using?

2) Was it a yellow submarine, as a pigment of someone's imagination?

3) Were Ringo Starr or Paul McCartney seen nearby, or on board?

4) Was it United States Navy, or at least a "Friendly"?

Maybe it was the lost mini-sub of Japan's from Pearl Harbor. It may have just now showed up after being around the world a few times since 1941.

Or check with Dr. Bob Ballard at NOAA to see if one of his is missing.

It's zee Germans!

On a historical note, the famed Japanese mini-sub that was depth charged and sunk at about 6 the morning of the Pearl Harbor attack has long time been found, raised, and I think is in some war museum somewhere.

There were five, but only four were ever accounted for. :wink:

On that, let me check with my brother, the American History professor at the University of North Dakota, and I'll get back to you.
