Adm. Robert F. Willard, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, expressed his gratitude at the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum and Park in Hawaii on October 11 regarding the underwater video footage provided by the Russian navy, which enabled the Navy to learn the location of the submarine.
It was discovered last October in the La Perouse Strait between Hokkaido, Japan, and Sakhalin Island, Russia, in 213 feet of water.
Wahoo was last heard from on September 13, 1943, as the submarine departed Midway Island en route to the Sea of Japan.
