    The crew of the Harder gave thier lives so we can have the freedom we enjoy today. It's interesting to see that the torpedo tubes are open...makes me believe it was lost during an attack run🤔. To all the men and their family members.. Thank You for your sacrifice!!! A disabled US Army Veteran

    My Grand Uncle Lloyd Hammond Sommerschield was a Coxswain on the "USS Harder" My grandmother (Lloyds older sister) someone I was very close with would share stories with me about USS Harders's accomplishments in the Pacific Theatre. They truly were a legendary submarine. They single handedly played a huge role in turning the tide against the Japanese naval forces. I am appreciative of Tiburon Subsea's incredible work. Thanks to all military for your service. We can now have closure. "Hit em Harder!" RIP Grand Uncle

    My grandfather was stationed on the Harder. He broke his arm during R&R after the 5th war patrol. He was left behind for the final patrol. He went on to serve on the USS Gunnell, he retired from the Navy in the late 50s. My father and myself went on to qualify in submarines and serve our country during the Cold War.

    Where does the name Harder come from?
    Its not only that generation that does not talk about war. My vietnam Vet Pops was also silent about his tours there.
    Those sailors on the Harder were Hard Men!!
    This is the right kind of expeditiòn.

    I know growing up the tale of the Merrimack vs. Monitor came up frequently over the years in school. Certainly was a novel occasion that changed the way naval warfare was to be fought ever after. Might make a really interesting movie if they have enough material on the two vessels and their crew.

    Is it possible for a Reporter to ask a thought-provoking question?
    Top 10 STUPID questions by a reporter:
    How do you feel finding dead people?
    What's it like winning a lottery?
    How do you feel that your parents are deceased?
    What's it like losing your best friend?
    How do you feel now that you have a terminal illness?
    Etc......
    Can someone ask an intelligent question??

    The hull looks to be intact. Wonder what exactly happened to her. Pirate salvagers are targeting WWII and eariler wrecks for the steel. It seems there is a lucrative black market for it.

      @Youreusingtoomanynapkins Yes , I've heard that. I saw some disturbing accounts here on RUclips that the Chinese have operated salvage ships on the wrecks of British war grave ships in the Pacific, such as HMS Prince of Wales. They actually used machinery to separate the human remains from metals, leaving the bones to fall back into the depths.
      If true, THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS !
      I feel that those Chinese salvage ships should be treated as ☠️ pirate ships traditionally were, in the past.
