The story was so touching and interesting that I wanted to know more. I did a search for the Grunion on the Internet and found your site. I thought that maybe others would like to read the article to know about the families from Pennsylvania whose loved ones were on the Grunion. The article can be read at: http://www.mcall.com/news/local/all-a1_1grunion.6369333may01,0,3274525.story Thank you for putting together this website and for all the information. May all those whose lives were lost on the Grunion rest in peace. Hello,

]]> Comment on The Sonar Image Analysis by Steve Giles http://ussgrunion.com/blog/sonar-image-analysis/#comment-73521 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 09:47:40 +0000 http://ussgrunion.com/blog/sonar-image-analysis/#comment-73521 Hello ~ just wanted to 'chime in' with a personal note; I have been diving on sunken submarines... one of note the old 1918 S-37, which torpedoed and sunk the first Japanese Destroyer (NATSUHIO = "Summer Current") and having DIVED on sunken subs... a 'sonar-photo' cannot give MANY details... ONE writer said ''sub bow could have'' , and I'll use my term; ''TELESCOPE'' under pressure, is completely correct. It also could be partially buried, as many of the shipwrecks I have visited usually are, whatever end hits soft bottom first. When I was DIVING on a submarine, it was not always easy to see details, as they were overgrown or damaged in one way or another. Going INSIDE was the REAL test, then you could find items with visible markings such as ''Periscope Fuse Box''...... ''diving alarm button'' (WITH watertight rubber finger button cover!!!) Leave the experts to do their job... they are the ones who do the job so we can read about it in our 'armchairs''... salute to all Vets... esp. Sub Vets.. either here or 'on eternal patrol'... thanks.
