Cayo Bernardo

Cayo Bernardo was one of the many little islands off the coasts of countries in the Carribean, in this case Cuba, often called cayos in Spanish.

At the outset of World War Two, an American author named Ernest Hemingway went looking for German submarines in the Carribean, to get his life off a marital disagreement with his wife.

There off the coast of Cayo Bernardo, he came upon an actual U-boat. He destroyed by throwing a grenade down its hatch, causing him to get decorated by the President of the United States.
