He also talked about the story of secret Japanese documents picked up by the Crevalle, which turned out to be Japanese war plans for the destruction of the American fleet at sea. Mr. Smith also spoke about his career as a freelance television videographer for over 30 years and his interest in submarines. He was joined by Chief Yeoman of the Crevalle Al Dempster and rescued American Bill Real.
