Cause of loss
editWhy the reluctance to accept that a submarine may have been responsible, in spite of the eyewitness accounts from crew? Was there intelligence/security reason why the authorities did not want to admit the real cause? Drutt (talk) 17:53, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- During WWII there was a secret battle off the shores of New England. The government did not want to publicize how many merchant ships were being sunk. This would have alarmed the population, and provided comfort to the enemy. Instead, the government said that the loud explosions were the result of target practice. This tendency to cover up allied losses seems to have carried on until the end of the war. For more details, read this book. Jehochman Talk 17:58, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Name
editUSS Eagle Boat 56, as in the article's title, or USS Eagle 56, as used throughout the text? 71.235.184.247 (talk) 23:25, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
Per this source, USS Eagle 56 is more correct, though USS Eagle No. 56 appears to be the most correct. If there are no objections, I will move this article to "USS Eagle 56" circa 20 November 2020 when I get back from vacation. RobDuch (talk·contribs) 22:53, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
