Been there here dons that. The modern boats are the Hilton compared to the old diesel boats. Those guys were truly a tough group. RIP guys you did a hell of a job. There’s several more lost out around Japan.

I toured a diesel sub in San Diego in the early sixties. I was just little pipsqueak, but the sub even seemed cramped to me.

We lost 52 boats in WWII, most of them in the Pacific around Japan. Not sure how many of them have been located, but I know most have not.
