USSGrunion, SS-216
Divers havefound and positively identified the USSGrunion, lost with all hands 66 years ago.
For those of you who aren’t aware, the US Submarine Fleet sank 55% of all shipping tonnage lost by the Japanese in World War II. Submariners made up about 2% of the US Navy at the time. They paid a huge price for that awful success, too–52 boats with 3,505 men never came back from patrol.
Rest easy, bros.
