The final resting place of an iconic U.S. Navy submarine that was sunk 80 years ago during World War II was located 3,000 feet below the ocean's surface,..

The USS Harder – which earned the nickname "Hit 'em HARDER" – was found off the Philippine island of Luzon, sitting upright and "relatively intact" except for damage behind its conning tower from a Japanese depth charge, the command said. The sub was discovered using data collected by Tim Taylor, CEO of the Lost 52 Project, which works to locate the 52 submarines sunk during World War II.

Harder received the Presidential Unit Citation for her first five patrols and six battle stars for World War II service, and Cmdr. Dealey was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.

Taylor, the Lost 52 Project CEO, previously located other submarines lost during World War II, including the USS Grayback, USS Stickleback, and USS Grunion. Taylor received a Distinguished Public Service Award from the Navy in 2021 for his work.

Last September, deep-sea explorers captured images of three shipwrecks from World War II's Battle of Midway, including the first up-close photos of a Japanese aircraft carrier since it sank during the historic battle in 1942.

Personal note: 
This NEWS article fits in with my soon to be submitted next posting about the upcoming Memorial Day,
a day that is celebrated in the USA... it is observed annually on the last Monday of May.
...I will be submitting another post today on this Military Veterans Confab sub-forum.
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the U.S. military
personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces...
....it is observed on the last Monday of May... this year on May 27, 2024.


Warmest Regards to all of our Military Veterans and those presently serving.

Thank you for this, Danielle.

Many people get confused about the holidays.

Memorial Day is to honor deceased military and veterans.
Veterans Day is to honor living military and veterans.

Thank you for your service, one and all!

Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything.
Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you,
so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.
