I-401.. sets sail?

I-401.. sets sail?

What nonsense is this, a sail-powered submarine!? No, it's the I-401, using a piece of paper to enlarge its radar cross-section during speed trials. We soon discovered that the reason we couldn't get a reading was the newly launched submarine was simply moving too slow for the radar gun to detect.

Only in California....
