She only lasted 5 months, eh? Well, that's war. At least their location and fate is known with certainty.

For anyone interested in reading about the search of a German sub sunk off the NJ coast, you might want to read.....Shadow Divers.

It was a best seller last year and well worth the read.

The Navy honors her dead. I am sure that Lagarto Navy men appreciate this sign of our respect. Our own, my own, personal salute to Logarto. Rest in peace.

One out of four of our submarine sailors who left Pearl on combat patrols against the Empire of Japan perished in line of duty. Every last man knew the odds against returning.

Near as I can figure, her name is a reference to the Alligator Gar:
