Talk:German submarine U-2513

First American President to travel on a submarine
The article states that Harry Truman became the first American President to travel on a submarine when he visited U-2513 on 5 December 1947. I thought Theodore Roosevelt was the first American President to travel on a submarine off Long Island Sound aboard USS Plunger (SS 2) on 25 March 1905. http://www.submarine-history.com/NOVAtwo.htm 98.240.51.222 (talk) 19:05, 1 January 2011 (UTC) tdanford

Even Wikipedia agrees: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Plunger_%28SS-2%29 Jmstar (talk) 20:40, 6 February 2012 (UTC)


 * The claim that Truman was the first president to travel in a submarine is supported by the cited source, a newspaper article. But then, the newspaper didn't have Wikipedia to use for fact checking. -- Donald Albury 22:06, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

If you read the linked article you'll know that he visited only the submarines for about two hours, he neither travelled with her nor he took part on a diving mission unlike Truman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.15.84.15 (talk) 22:54, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
