_Peanuts_ (19-May-1962): Kite Snagged on Submarine Raton

[Jym Dyer]

=v= Today's _Peanuts_Classics_ reprints a May 19, 1962 strip
that wasn't in any of the book collections:

I presume this is because it refers to a news item of the day.

=v= A web search shows that there was a submarine named the
USS Raton. It even has its own fan page:

(WARNING: web page plays "Anchors Aweigh" in the background.)
I didn't find anything about a kite incident, though.

opened right up to the article in the page titled Kite Lodges On Periscope,
and in the first sentence mentions that the sub "returned from a weekend
cruise with a kite atop its periscope." etc., etc.
