AGENCIES: An American submarine that went missing in World War Two has been rediscovered at the bottom of the East China sea.
The USS Grayback and its 80 crew members disappeared in 1944 when it was attacked by a Japanese aircraft.
An underwater exploration project found the submarine off the coast of Okinawa, Japan, after finding military documents with the correct coordinates to locate it.
The original coordinates had been mistranslated and were missing a digit.
The families of the 80 crew members who were on board the submarine have been told about its discovery.
For Kathy Taylor, whose uncle John Patrick King was on the vessel, the discovery brings closure.
“I committed from the very beginning, when I was a little girl, that I was going to find him or follow him or keep his memory alive,” she told ABC News.
