My wife found out recently that her grandfather was a submariner in WWII. He passed away about 20 years ago and didn't talk much about the war. She new he was Navy but no idea he was a submariner, especially at 6ft tall. Unfortunately his sub sank and lost all on board except for him, he was on land getting his appendix removed. I never met him but by all accounts he seemed like a great man, not sure how someone over comes loosing their whole crew but it spared. Lately my wife has been reading a lot about the war especially anything she can find about submarines during the war.
I'm not sure if it is possible but I'd like to find out what sub he was a signed to. Anyone know where to start searching?
