    What is the origin of the phrase "No answer came the stern reply"?

Any help?

    The same old gentleman mentioned in my previous question has some fascinating stories. During World War II he was on a destroyer which sunk a German U-Boat in New York harbor within sight of the Statue of Liberty. They even retrieved some bodies after the incident. The whole affair was kept secret because it would have freaked out the general public a bit too much. Is there any information currently available about this incident?
