Sunken Ship Found!

Hey Gang,
Big news on the island with the anniversary kicking up dust. It seems every few years the Kerama mystery ship makes an appearance in the news. Keep one eye on the below thread for interesting info about the topic. It’s possible that it’s the Hobbs Victory that I wrote about in the manuscript but you never know…

Mr. Cliff Stryker posted on the forum the other day, and he’s an old tunnel rat from the heyday of relic hunting. Check out the thread and chime in!

In reasearch news; I talked to Mr. William Sass the other day on the phone. He’s a veteran of the campaign and was with the Seabees during the battle. He’s helped out in regards to some of the Seabee photographs I’ve recently scanned into the site. Of particular note he mentioned how he was part of a three man cave detail assigned to coax die-hards and civilians out of the caves after the battle. He said that some things are just too difficult to describe and painful to remember. That being said; respect the ground you trend upon out in the field be it Okinawa or Gettysburg.
