In July 1942 the USS Grunion, an American submarine commanded by Lieutenant Commander Mannert "Jim" Abele, dove to evade a Japanese attack roughly 10 miles northeast of Kiska in the Aleutian Islands, and was never heard from again. John Abele will take us on the remarkable journey in search of his father's submarine. Mixing his personal account with actual underwater footage and photos, Abele will tell of the international cast of characters who came together to help the team find the Grunion and also provide closure to those who were left behind to wonder what had befallen the crew members.
