PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii - The Navy has confirmed the wreckage of a sunken vessel found last year off the Aleutians Islands is that of the USS Grunion, which disappeared during World War II.

The Grunion was last heard from July 30, 1942. The submarine reported heavy anti-submarine activity at the entrance to Kiska, and that it had 10 torpedoes remaining forward. On the same day, the Grunion was directed to return to Dutch Harbor Naval Operating Base. The submarine was reported lost Aug. 16, 1942.

Pretty incredible story - I'm looking forward to the images & possibly the answer as to why it sank along with them. Reminds me of the Titanic being found, but unlike the Titanic there where no survivors and nobody new what happened - until now.

Edit: I guess the news is the Navy's confirmation, as it has been known for awhile.
