a noble vessel crewed by brave men that went down fighting * they were doing there best to thwart the japanese in the alaska area. may god bless them and may their families find peace now that they have been found.

* while not "proven" its thought the vessel had battle damage -- thus it sank or was sunk by damage caused by attacks or a attack it self. -- they were vastly out numbered at the time.
