Nos enseña muchas cosas esta historia, la primera lo inútil de las gerras, algo había leído sobre estos submarinos y los múltiples problemas para llevar el aeroplano pues eran muy pequeños, pensaba que no había llevado a cabo ninguna misión.
No solo la llevo a cabo sino que además fue sobre Estados Unidos, da igual que no consiguiese incendiar los bosques pues habían demostrado que podían hacerlo, imaginaros el subidón de ánimo que les debió de producir.

Aunque estoy navegando por mi querida Mallorca, os pongo foto de nuestra Fragata Juan de Borbon escoltando al CVN 77 George HW Bush, el portaaviones de la clase Nimitz mas moderno y ultimo de su clase hasta la entrada en servicio de los nuevos Gerald Ford.

Esta vez esta en Ingles pero es una historia muy interesante

USS Grunion (SS-216) was a Gato-class submarine that was sunk at Kiska, Alaska, during World War II. She was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the grunion, a small fish of the silversides family, indigenous to the western American coast.

Her keel was laid down by the Electric Boat Company in Groton, Connecticut on 1 March 1941. She was launched on 22 December 1941, (sponsored by Mrs. Stanford C. Hooper, wife of Rear Admiral Hooper), and commissioned on 11 April 1942 with Lieutenant Commander (Lt. Cmdr.) Mannert L. Abele, USNA class of 1926 in command.

After shakedown out of New London, Grunion sailed for the Pacific on 24 May. A week later, as she transited the Caribbean Sea for Panama, she rescued 16 survivors of USAT Jack, which had been torpedoed by the German U-boat U-558,and she conducted a fruitless search for 13 other survivors presumed in the vicinity. Arriving at Coco Solo on 3 June, Grunion deposited her shipload of survivors and continued to Pearl Harbor, arriving 20 June.

Departing Hawaii on 30 June after ten days of intensive training, Grunion touched Midway Island before heading toward the Aleutian Islands for her first war patrol. Her first report, made as she patrolled north of Kiska Island, stated she had been attacked by a Japanese destroyer and had fired at her with inconclusive results. She operated off Kiska throughout July and sank two enemy patrol boats while in search for enemy shipping. On 30 July the submarine reported intensive antisubmarine activity, and she was ordered back to Dutch Harbor.

Grunion was never heard from nor seen again. Air searches off Kiska were fruitless; and on 5 October Grunion was reported overdue from patrol and assumed lost with all hands. Her name was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 2 November 1942. Captured Japanese records show no antisubmarine attacks in the Kiska area, and the fate of Grunion remained a mystery for 65 years until discovery in the Bering Sea in August 2007 of a wreck believed to be the boat. In October 2008, the U.S. Navy verified that the wreck is the Grunion.[6] The reason for her sinking is still not known, though there are two possible explanations.

Como mi nivel de ingles es ana botella o inferior , solo he podido entender la primera linea de todos modos gracias

[iperkeno]

Ya me gustaría a mi llegar a ese nivel...

...pero me parece entender que se barajaban dos causas posibles del hundimiento, aunque no especifica cuales.

[coronadobx]

No se sabe las causas de su hundimiento, la mas probable es que se produjera en el ataque al transporte Japones Kano Maro!
