A momment of silence for the USS Grunion

[Capt. D]

Watching the Today show this morning our local affiliated station Channel 4 (Detroit) indicated in the "ticker tape" across the bottom of the screen that a local man was aboard the WWII USS Grunion which was just found off the coast of Alaska.

Tried to research some more to see if this was a current find and only found articles from October 2006. Does anyone know if this could be a confirmation of the find? She went down July 30, 1942 off Kiska Alaska.

Whatever the case - a momment of silence for the men of the USS Grunion.

Here is the link to the Grunion blog done by the sons of the captain. They are the ones heading up the search.

Imploded.

So she went, deep. I wonder why. Im guessing whatever the reason, the boat was probably out of control. Flooding of some kind. Main induction maybe? Of course i havent read any attack analysis or anything, im just guessing.

I've only glanced at the reports, but the way I understand it, their last report indicated a very heavy concentration of ASW ops off of Kiska which was the last patrol area.
