Found this story on another forum.

The remains of the USS Grunion, a WW II sub's final resting place have been confirmed by the Navy.

May their souls rest in peace.

May they all rest in peace. I wish I knew how, I'd paste the seaman's hymn on here.

It looks remarkably intact.

Maybe this will help the families of those lost, they were true American Hero's.

Cool story, too bad it took so long to find it and give the families some closure....

At last some closure and solace for the families.

They're the "Iron Men in Steel Boats" who made possible the victory over the Empire of Japan in America's darkest days. They are now on Eternal Patrol. Thank God for their efforts and sacrifices.

This the one you're talking about, Scotty?

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep,
Its own appointed limits keep.

Oh hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea! Amen.

Eternal Father, lend Thy grace
To those with wings who fly through space,
Through wind and storm, through sun and rain,
Oh bring them safely home again.

Oh Father, hear an humble prayer,
For those in peril in the air! Amen.

Oh Trinity of love and pow'r,
Our brethren shield in danger's hour,
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go.

Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea! Amen.
