No offense intended to the good people of Nutwood, but it's a funny name in kind of a far-fetched story.

The website, riverbender.com is the only news outlet that I can find with anything about the sub.

This link is to an article about another submarine found in an Illinois river (in 1915):

"The “Foolkiller” was so called because it first made its appearance shortly after the Chicago fire, in the days when submarines were unheard of"

An article today - April Fool's Day - about a submarine found in an Illinois river, which happens to sound similar to another submarine - named Foolkiller - found in an Illinois river.
