Undersea explorer Tim
Taylor and his team at the Lost 52 Project announced that they had located the
long-lost submarine about 1,427 feet underwater off Okinawa, Japan. In 2018,
researcher Yutaka Iwasaki found that the Navy had originally made an error in
translating the Japanese war records that detailed where the Grayback had
likely sunk. All this time, the Navy's historical records had listed an
incorrect site of the submarine.
With the help of
autonomous underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles and advanced imaging
technology, the team discovered the Grayback about 100 miles from the area
where it was originally thought to have gone down. The discovery was officially
confirmed by the Navy.
On January 28, 1944,
the Grayback set sail from Pearl Harbor for the East China Sea. About a month
later, the submarine reported sinking two Japanese ships on February 19. Though
the Grayback was scheduled to arrive in Midway on March 7, more than three
weeks passed with the submarine out of sight. And on March 30,1944, the
Grayback, one of the most successful submarines of World War Ⅱ, was reported lost.
Gloria Hurney, whose
uncle Raymond Parks died on the Grayback, said that she wasn't sure that the
Grayback would ever be recovered. So when she first learned of the discovery,
she felt a mixture of shock, disbelief and sadness. Eventually, though, those
feelings turned into relief, comfort and peace. Hurney said in a statement,
"I believe it will allow healing as relatives of crew members come
together to share their stories. " Neyland, a Navy officer, said in a
statement, "Each discovery of a sunken craft is an opportunity to remember
and honor the service of our sailors. "
