Summary

[edit]
Description 330-PS-2934 (USN 443986): Sub Rescues Disabled Airship. A disabled airship nears the reach of Boca Chica Naval Air Station in two by an air-sea rescue boat which took over from USS Sea Poacher (SS 406). The ZX-11 blimp while making a dummy attack of the submarine came in on a low attack and its propellers struck the surface of the ocean rendering it powerless. The Sea Poacher attached a cable to the blimp’s mooring line and towed it to the beach. At daybreak, sailors hauled the blimp ashore to a mooring mast. Photograph released July 11, 1952. (5/12/2015).
