The United States acquired two German Type XXI U-boats at the end of World War II. It is no secret that the German Type XXI design started a revolution across the globe in submarine technology and design. What was a secret until now, however, is the US Zinger Class.

Wife of one of the high ranking admirals in the US Navy began a top secret program of spying on all the stuff her husband was doing. She loved to bake. But she also had an interest in her husband's work. When her husband would hold highly classified brainstorming sessions at the house Mrs. Z was always PINGing in on what was going down around the dinner table.

After separating from her husband and relocating to a super secret naval installment somewhere in Idaho, she began the development of what would later be known to the world as the Zinger class attack submarine. In her kitchens the Zinger class went through rigorous testing and experimentation.

Ms. Z, formerly Mrs. Z, was the chairwoman of the Zinger Energy Commission (ZEC) at the height of the Cold War. Everyone wanted to know what she was cooking up. The Soviets even sent spies who hung around outside her window to try an figure out just what was going on in there. Well luckily the Soviet olfactory reconnaissance was detected and driven away by Ms. Z's pitbulls.

She kept on cooking and eventually perfected everything she ever wanted to perfect, as far as her Zinger class design goes. Her Zinger class subs began a shift in submarining and quite possibly pretty much brought about the real end to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

In a very, very classified email to Ms. Z from President John F. Kennedy, he says, "Thanks for all of your hard work, Ms. XXX [Her secret classified name]. Without your superb skills and innovations, I fear we'd be behind the game. I think that the Soviets might have beat us out. But nope. Thanks to you and your sweet tasting Z-class, we've made some serious advancements in deep sea blue water technology. You're the best. -- JohnK1917"

Ms. Z sent JFK a package of her very own secret recipe creme filled cakes for the nice letter.
