Lost WW2 Submarine Wahoo Located and Honored

Sunday Aug 10, 2008

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.

All the amazing war patrols of the Wahoo, and more, are told in detail here with info taken directly from the captain’s log.
