This is a second try In 1942 my Dad commanded a submarine the Grunion. In October of that year his sub was reported missing and all the family was told was that the loss was somewhere and Pacific. There was nothing about it on either American or Japanese records. Officially it was operational ie non combact problems. Almost 60 years to that day we found to a note on one of the Grunion Web sites that a Japanese named Yusaki Iwasaki believed that he knew what happened to the Grunion. We were able to obtain his e-mail address from the Internet. Yutaka Iwasaki spent to an entire weekend translating an article written by a commander of a Japanese cargo ship which had been in a confrontation with the Grunion. Particularly important is that Yutaka provided a location of that confrontation. The plan now is to hire Bob Ballard of Titanic fame to make a search for the Grunion and to determine what happened to the Grunion at 5:30 am July 31st 1942. Was it a circular torpedo or what? We want to contact Yutaka Iwasak for two reasons. First to let him know the significance out his kindness and secondly to double check the location of confrontation, We know that it is north of Kiska Island at the tip of the Aleutians and that that area is known for terrible conditions. The problem is thgat Yutaka Iwasaki's email address has changed. It used to be at <navy_yard-iwa@mbj.sphere.ne.jp>. Google says that providing email addresses is personal info. However if you can find a legitimate address and send a note asking Yutaka to reply to mbabele@rcn.com about a search for the Grunion I am very sure he will answer. Several things about Yutaka. He is very interested in WWII Japanese warships and a search of the Internet will provide a number of hits including the old email address. He is fairly young and I believe works with a newspaper doing Japanes to English translations. Bruce Abele, son of the commander of the Grunion |

To search for his email adress you can go to www.optonline.net and search the name and japan and there are two email's listed, maybe one of these is what you are looking for. |

Dear Mannert-ga, I understand that sometimes rules add some difficulty to accomplish certain searches, but there?s nothing we can do about it. In fact, no *personal* (as opposed to *business*) contact information -including email address- is to be posted in Google Answers, not even the asker?s, thus we can?t proceed as you suggested. Actually, posting your email address prevents us from answering your question (please see http://answers.google.com/answers/faq.html#postemail ). For that reason, it?s quite unlikely that any researcher worked on your question. I post this comment so you can understand why. Your option might be to cancel this one, post a new one without the email addresses, and if a researcher can find a *business* contact information from the person you?re looking for, then it could be answered. Sincerely, Guillermo-ga |
