On October 15th, I wrote about the discovery of the final resting place of the USS Grunion, a World War II submarine that was lost.
The October 12th Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that more than 200 attended the ceremony honoring the Grunion's crwe held aboard her sister submarine, the USS Cod, now located in Cleveland. Both subs were built in the same year.
There was a tolling of the Grunion's salvaged bell and a 21-volley salute and casting of carnations on Lake Erie.
The Grunion's final radio message said she was under intense ant-submarine activity near Kiska Harbor in the Aleutians. That was the last anyone ever heard from the 70 crew members.
A Salute to the Undersea Service.
