  • Missing WWII Sub Found

    another one on eternal patrol found. last year they found the Wahoo of the coast of Japan. with technology I hope they find more of these. for the sake of the families.

    The discovery of the USS Grunion culminates a five-year search led by the sons of its commander, Mannert Abele, and may finally shine a light on the mysterious last moments of the doomed vessel.

        and then some.

        If I was able to I would love to be on a surface ship.

        There is something about being under a whole lot of water that scares me.
