The discovery of the final resting place of the USS Albacore (SS-218)
Webmaster David Johnston had the honor of being part of the team that developed location information for a search for the wreck site of the USS Albacore (SS-218), lost in action in World War II. He also did the analysis of the video and images gathered from the site by the Japanese search team and co-authored the report submitted to the Naval History & Heritage Command that allowed the U.S. Navy to confirm the identity of the wreck. This video is of a presentation he gave on the topic at the Fort Miles Museum in Lewes, DE on April 13, 2024.
