Scene on the Sound: Unidentified submarine

Photo by Jan Hansen

Tuesday morning at 10:45am, a submarine cruised through Puget Sound. Jan Hansen says "It’s difficult for me to identify submarines, but this is possibly WWII.  If this report belongs to the vessel going by this morning headed toward San Diego, then she was brought back into active status.
