For those of you with a bent toward writing war fiction or non-fiction. CNN announced the probable discovery of one of the US Navy's more famous early world war two submarines the USS Grunnion.

It took 64 years to get this far with knowing what actually happened to the "Pig Boat".

Oh, WOW. I thought they'd never find the Grunion. Although to be official and everything, they don't know for "sure" (which is, of course, to cover their derrieres and ensure further funding for later trips)! Let me ask... if that's NOT the Grunion, then which wreck WOULD it be? Especially considering location, angle, everything..

Thanks, Scott.
