Sorry, Jan but you're wrong. I corresponded with Gudmundar Helgason of the U-Boat Net about a sub off the west coast of Florida reported sunk by the U.S.S. Nunzer in 1942 (article from St. Pete Times) and he never heard of it, or the American vessel Nunzer! I also asked him about a WWII German sub found off the coast of Nicarugua last year by Steven Carlson and he has no records of any German subs lost in Central America at all! Carlson found the type UB-VII sub half-buried in sand just off shore and tried to drag it out unsucessfully with a bulldozer. He now wants to sell it as-is, where-is for $50,000. The U-Boat Net records are incomplete. Divers have been searching for that sub off Sarasota for 20 years. It's out there somewhere and eventually someone like Marsden will find it.
