Bob Hudson Posted March 24, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 24, 2014 Commissioned in 1918, the submarine USS O-9 foundered during a training cruise in 1941. 33 officers and men were killed. Wikipedia has an article about her at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_O-9_(SS-70) This is the program from the memorial service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hudson Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted March 24, 2014 Interesting memorial program.There was a tv program about the 0-9 and it's wreckage on "deep sea detectives" a couple of years ago. Wikipedia says: "On 20 September 1997, O-9 was finally located. Salem, New Hampshire-based Klein Sonar Company provided a vessel and sonar equipment which were used to discover O-9's final resting place. Her hull has been crushed from just abaft the conning towerall the way to the stern, though the forward hull appeared intact. There are no plans to salvage O-9. Her exact location is secret and the area has been designated an official Naval burial ground." The sub was apparently crushed when it dropped down to twice its designed operating depth.

Wonder if he was aboard when Charles Lindbergh took a ride on the O-9 when she was stationed in Panama in Jan. 1928? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
