    When were snorkels first used on submarines?

    Question #112079. Asked by unclerick. (Jan 13 10 1:50 PM)

    		A submarine snorkel is a device that allows a submarine to operate submerged while still taking in air from above the surface. It was invented by the Dutch shortly before World War II and copied by the Germans during the war for use by U-Boats. Its common military name is snort.
