Today marks 68 years since the official Japanese surrender to the U.S. and the ending of World War II.
The submarine U.S.S. Silversides played an important role in the epic struggle in the Pacific. From 1941 to 1945, the Silversides inflicted heavy losses on Japanese shipping. The sub sank the third most tonnage of any submarine in the U.S. Navy.
The U.S.S. Silversides Submarine Museum - and the sub itself – are now located in Muskegon, Michigan.
WKAR’s Peter Whorf joined Silversides docent Garry McKeen for a tour of the boat.
