@Chuck

Thanks for the great comment. It really is amazing to discover these boats and fill in the gaps in history. It’s like the age of discovery!

I know the USS LAGARTO website: http://www.dbfnetwork.info/lagarto/index.php

Does the WAHOO have a site? Is there a news article somewhere to read? thanks for the information

I am very excited for you and the families of the crew. It seems like 2006 is turning out to be the year to find the WWII subs. First the Lagarto, then the Grunion. Yesterday news broke that they may have found the Wahoo in the Sea of Japan. My heart goes out to all the families of lost sailors.

You said “two sub chasers CH 24 and CH26… were sunk by the Grunion”; actually
they were CH-25 and CH-27. CH-26 survived until 30 Jul ‘45.

I-9 should lie within a few miles of ARARE. The operant word being “should”.

Best of Luck,
