• 1 March 1942: A PBO Hudson Patrol Bomber of VP-82 spots and sinks the German Submarine U-656 south of Newfoundland.  This is the first U-boat kill by the U.S. Navy in World War II. 
• 6 March 1913: During training maneuvers near Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a C-1 flying boat flown by LT John H. Towers and ENS Godfrey Dec. Chevalier successfully spot an approaching battleship and enable an attack by destroyers.  This became a key action in demonstrating naval aviation’s potential impact on sea battles.
