USS Grunion Found

The WW II submarine Grunion left on a mission and never returned, and until recently, no one knew what had happened to it.

Today, I was watching TV when they had a segment on two brothers who financed an expedition to find it. Their dad commanded it.

A while back, a Japanese researchere came across a short account of a battle between a Japanese armed cargo ship and an American submarine off the Aleutian Islands. This took place about the same time as the Grunnion disappeared.

This bit of information led to the submarine's discovery. Photos were taken of the badly damaged vessel.
