PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii — The Navy has confirmed the wreckage of a sunken vessel found last year off Alaska’s Aleutian Islands is that of the submarine Grunion, which disappeared during World War II.

Underwater video footage and pictures captured by an expedition hired by sons of the commanding officer, Lt. Cmdr. Mannert L. Abele, allowed the Navy to confirm the discovery, Rear Adm. Douglas McAneny said Thursday in a news release from Pearl Harbor.

McAneny said the Navy was very grateful to the Abele family.

“We hope this announcement will help to give closure to the families of the 70 crewmen of Grunion,” he said.

Fair winds and following seas shipmates. Rest in peace.
If you are unwilling to give another man freedom in his life, do not expect to have it in your own.
