Comments for The Search for the Grunion Blog http://ussgrunion.com/blog Details and Log reports of the search for the lost WWII Submarine, USS Grunion Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:01:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 Comment on Aleutian Combat Timeline by Ken Robinson http://ussgrunion.com/blog/aleutian-combat-timeline/comment-page-1/#comment-320775 Ken Robinson Sat, 28 Jan 2012 02:59:54 +0000 http://ussgrunion.com/blog/aleutian-combat-timeline/#comment-320775 The date today is Jan 27. 2012. There hasnt been any new blog postings since July 2011. There had been a flury of interest from 2006 till 2008 then things taperd off. I believe there is still infomation that can be found in some ones old "Sea Chest" or foot locker. If I Google the Grunion it says there are 6,240 listings, Im still reading. If I Google the Kano Maru there arent as many and I havent read all of them yet. If we were to create an algorithm ( basic local alignment search tool) and feed in all the known info and expand the parimeters the puzzel would become clearer. Mabe not a definative answer but clearer. KR The date today is Jan 27. 2012. There hasnt been any new blog postings since July 2011.

Many Americans are not aware of the Aleutian battles fought on American soil and in Alaskan waters during WW2. The island is so remote that few people visit these ghost ships. The island with all its little-known history and its unspoiled battlefield made a great setting for my novel available now on Amazon’s Kindle.

It's interesting and thoughtful for the families, and once again reminds us of the sacrifices made by our service men and women. We are thankful to them and to the the people working on the Grunion project. Keep up the good work!
