Man, you are right on target, as usual, TKG. Well played…

Turn the page to see just how right you are!

I suspect that is more or less water held by some sort of containment field, given the presence in the prior strip indicating ‘deep sea anglermen’ it is probable that this is their way of sending either a boarding party or an emissary. I’d bet a cordial hello by Morse code would have worked a bit better though.

The origins of the Custer are as enigmatic as the Captain at its helm.

All will be revealed in time.

The Custer can’t be a Gato class, as she has been sailing since sometime prior to 1937, and the Gato (first of her class) didn’t sail until mid 1941.

A privately funded V type is possible.

Of course, if you allow for time travel, a Gato class salvaged from the briny deeps in 2057, refurbished and upgraded, then sent back to 1920…..

Greetings Kaian,

Your theory concerning “plastisized water” is intriguing. I will be postulating my own theory on the matter next week…

And, I quite enjoyed your play on words – ABYSSmal – heh.

Greetings Sgt. Howard,

A “standard” Gato Class submarine is 95 meters in length, has a 8.31 meter beam and displaces 2424 tons when submerged. The Custer is no different in these respects…

However, the Custer is also in NO WAY a “standard” Gato Class submarine.

I imagine it’s just like when you get your car washed and it rains the next day.

That’s gotta stink, just after they patch up all the little holes in their nice submarine, someone comes along and rudely punches another big one!

It’s a wonder they can get anyone to serve on military subs, after the way they are portrayed in popular fiction. You would think the bottom of the ocean would be littered with them.
