Also the last Today Show on the Grunion won the highest award on TV, the Edward R Morrow award.

    After 60+ years would there be any remains for the families to recover and have interred? I’m very curious. I hope they didn’t suffer and send my condolences to the families. They deserved to know.

    I remember how important it was for the families of the USS Lagarto when that submarine was found of the coast of Thailand. The men on board the Grunion can rest at peace now. Thier loved ones have found them.

    I think it important that you sought and found these brave men that were an important part of America’s greatest generatin. Thank you for bringing their spirits home after so long. As a son of a WWII Marine I am proud of them and you.

    In just the past week or so, this story has captured my attention. I just wanted to THANK YOU all for sharing this with the world. To know that there are families out there that aren’t giving up hope on those lost, is a wonderful thing! BE PROUD! You’re father would be I’m sure. To know that his sons never gave up bringing their dad “home”. My thoughts and prayers to your families, the families of those lost in not only the Grunion, but also the Japanese vessels, and those behind the scenes that were instrumental in making it happen.

    I work at Electric Boat in Grotion, CT where our subs are built. I note in one of the photo that a hatch is fully open. It is possible that some of the crew may have gotten out of the sub or attempted to get out before it when down.

    I was impressed, It is because US navy rediscover USS Grunion. As for it, the nation admitted the death of the crew who was missing for a long time.
    It is sad to have lost dear people. However, it is wonderful that the nation was impressed on crew’s efforts.
    I guess that they were wishes of bereaved families.

    Aleution where nature is beautiful will become and never to suffer from the war again, the submarine become a sign that keeps defending the sea through all eternity.

    Children who share a sad memory promise to fathers. We never fight mutually.
    And We are proud of braves.
