We were told, via radio, to try and contact GRUNION. We did with no success. At times we would pick up distant depth-charging with our sound equipment.I had attended Sub School at New London during late summer of 1941 with Al Ullman, who remains aboard the GRUNION. A great guy. Have been in contact with some of his relatives who were born after hs loss. I'm 83 and living in Melbourne FL -- Geo.Herold I may have said this previously - At the time of GRUNION’S loss I was on the submarine FINBACK, about 100 miles distant.

The destroyer Arare sank by torpedo hit at midship, went down with Jack knife shape. The wreck is just as it is said. It is clear that we can see two aft gun turret, and particular double-curvature stem of Japanese fighting ship. The bridge fall on the aft body. Fore part fall down but No.1 turret seemed upright. There are debris at the broken edge. Perhaps machinery and boiler. I think the Japanes souls are still here, not in YASUKUNI SHRINE in TOKYO. Thank you for discovery of the forgotten ship.

My father had very close buddy of his who was lost on the USS PICKEREL on April 1943 in Japanese home waters so this is very close to my heart. I can remember them as a little boy taking pictures together Andy Horvath in his Navy uniform and my dad in his army uniform. My deepest prayers for all involved especially the families...
