330-PS-2934 (USN 443983):   Sub Rescues Disabled Airship.   Sailors of a ground crew landing party, haul down a disabled ZP2K airship at Boca Chica, Naval Air Station, after a 22 hour rescue in which USS Sea Poacher (SS 406) toned the disabled aircraft to land.  The ZX-11 blimp while making a dummy attack of the submarine came in on a low attack and its propellers struck the surface of the ocean rendering it powerless.  The Sea Poacher attached a cable to the blimp’s mooring line and towed it to the beach.  At daybreak, sailors hauled the blimp ashore to a mooring mast.  Photograph released July 11, 1952.
