Go Easy, Brothers


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.
