USS Grunion's bow discovered off the coast of Alaska nearly 80 years after the submarine sunk

Ocean explorers have discovered the bow of the USS Grunion off the coast of Alaska nearly 80 years after it was lost during the Second World War. A team from the Lost 52 Project found the submarine part in 2,700 ft (820m) of water near the Aleutian Islands using pioneering robot technology. The Gato-class submarine, which was carrying 70 people on board when it sank, was last heard from in July 1942. In 2006, the sons of the ship's captain Lieutenant Commander Mannert'Jim' Abele - Bruce, Brad and John - began a search for the lost submarine, finding it a year later. The USS Grunion was a Gato-class submarine that sank during the Second World War.
