No radio distress call ever crackled from the submarine USS Grunion. In 1942 under the fog of World War II the vessel simply vanished without a trace. For nearly sixty-five years only a dead silence lingered regarding the fate of the sub and its seventy-man crew?until now. Here author Peter F. Stevens reveals the incredible true story of the search for and discovery of the Grunion?as well as the navy?s shocking and willful cover-up of the submarine?s baffling disappearance. The Grunion was discovered in 2006 after a decades-long search by the Abele brothers whose father commanded the submarine and met his untimely death aboard it but one question remained: what sank the USS Grunion? Now for the first time ever Fatal Dive reveals the answer: one of the Grunion?s own missiles. The navy knowingly sent the Grunion out with faulty torpedoes and Fatal Dive reveals damning and never-before-published government documents that provide irrefutable evidence of its shameful cover-up. Intriguing and explosive Fatal Dive finally lays to rest one of World War II?s greatest mysteries.
