I'm the daughter and granddaughter of prior Navy men, and wife to a prior Marine. I'm so happy that you were able to find your father's submarine and the fallen ships of the Japanese. I'm sure the souls of the men aboard the Grunion and other ships are at peace knowing someone finally came looking for them and found them.

I've traveled the Aleutian Islands since 1989 in the development of its geothermal energy and know of the extreme nature and power of weather conditions in and around the Aleutian Islands. Indeed, Neptune did smile upon your efforts. I, too, look forward to seeing the visual record of this culminating Event. Another exciting and stunning report!

I felt a surge of excitement when I realized what ship it was. My grandmas brother, Lawrence Dale Deaton was on that sub. I have visited the Punch Bowl in Hawaii and found his name listed there but have never had much info as to what had happened. I would like to provide my grandma, Lenore (Deaton) Gearhart with as much information as possiable and have her included in any activitys that might arise from this discovery. Is there any contacts that anyone can give me that might be helpful? I know I will be watching this web site from now on to follow what is taking place.

How far aft from the break did the hull implode? This would indicate the extent of flooding. If the hatch between FWD Torpedo and officers' head were secured the implosion area would be very close. If flooded through to control room there would be more intact behind the break. Of course impact with sea bed could have done some damage too. Wish I could have been there with you.
