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?
