The True Story of the U.S.S Grunion Submarine and the Shocking Cover-Up of Its Disappearance
No radio distress call ever crackled from the U.S.S. Grunion submarine. In 1942, under the fog of World War II, she simply vanished without a trace. For nearly sixty-five years, only a dead silence lingered regarding the fate of the sub and her seventy-man crew—until now. In his new book, Fatal Dive, author Peter F. Stevens reveals the incredible true story of the search for and discovery of the U.S.S. Grunion—as well as the U.S. Navy’s shocking and willful cover up of the submarine’s baffling disappearance. Discovered in 2006 after a decades long search by the Abele brothers—whose father commanded the submarine and met his untimely death aboard it—one question remained: what sank the U.S.S. Grunion? Now, for the first time ever, Fatal Dive reveals the answer: one of the U.S.S. Grunion’s own missiles. Covered up by the Navy, because they knowingly sent the U.S.S. Grunion out with faulty torpedoes, Fatal Dive reveals damning and never-before-published government documents that provide irrefutable evidence of the Navy’s shameful cover-up. Intriguing and explosive, Fatal Dive finally lays to rest one of World War II’s greatest mysteries.
