The USS Largarto Video

The Navy now believes the Lagarto was sunk by a Japanese minelayer, the Hatsutaka, on May 3, and lists the crew's date of death as the following day.

The USS Lagarto was one of 52 submarines lost during World War II., this is a fantastic video montage of the mission with CDR Tony San Jose, Seventh Fleet Diving Commander, Master Diver Mike Moser and Navy Deep Sea Divers from USS SALVOR and Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit ONE out of Pearl Harbor, HI.

Divers included Diving Medical Officer, LT Andrew Baldwin because of complex mixed diving operations to depths exceeding 240 feet of seawater. These Navy divers spent six days surveying the site, more than 100 miles off the eastern coast of Thailand, and announced the sub appeared to be the Lagarto. The Navy held a memorial service and placed a plaque on the sub's capstan. In the Navy tradition, the sunken submarine will not be raised or the bodies removed. "We consider the sea to be a fit and proper final resting place," said Lt. Commander Jeff Davis, of the Pacific Submarine Force in Pearl Harbor.

This is awesome, thanks so much for sharing! I was wondering, is there a way for me to save this video and if so, do you mind that I have a copy of it? My husband was aboard the USS Salvor on this mission and he's showed alot in your video. Thanks again! :)
