From the Submarine Eternal Post Site.
I have been writing about the submarine USS Perch which was scuttled by its crew and everyone captured by the Japanese 3 March 1942. The crew was then interned in Japanese prisons for the remainder of the war.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
