D...The Royal Hawaiian is still a hotel in Honolulu. During the war, it was where the submarine crews were billeted. It was an oddity in many different ways. <br /><br />The kitchen adopted many of the cooks who studied the dishes being prepared for the restaurant...and then took their versions of those dishes back aboard their boats. For submarine officers, the hotel served as a secure setting for them to share stories and tactics. As each submarine skipper tried different approaches and tactics, he would share his successes and failures so that the other skippers could learn from them.<br /><br />By fostering this relationship between skippers, tactics could be shared as fast as they were invented rather than waiting on a memo from Washington.History Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09383360691680072992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768306152543633246.post-17276462044100953472017-06-14T15:42:54.756-04:002017-06-14T15:42:54.756-04:00I am wondering, where was the medallion actually m...I am wondering, where was the medallion actually made?
