  My father, SM1st Class Bill Mabin, was one of   Lagarto's crew.  He was 26 when he died, I was 2.  When his submarine was found, I was 62.  It was a shock, but after looking for and ultimately conversing with many of Lagarto's children, we agreed that knowing where our fathers were gave us peace.  I appeared in the doc and will try to answer some of the questions and comment on some others.  ❤

  I am a U.S. Navy Subamrine Vet. I served on three Ohio Class Submarines in my 20 years career. I did 18 patrols on those boats. I spent about 6 years of my life underwater and 10 years of my life attached to these three submarines. My heart aches for the family members of these 86 Submarine Sailors that lost their life fighting for every other crew member on that boat to get home again. Earning my Dolphins was one of the hardest and proudest moments of my life. Those Dolphins meant I was trusted by everyone on board that I would do the right thing no matter the circumstance. I have tried to live my whole life by those standards. I know these 86 Submarine Sailors did the same thing. They fought with every fiber of their body, heart and soul to survive. Going down fighting is the least they did. They fought bravely. From one submariner to each family member out there from The U.S S. Lagarto, we never stop thinking about getting home to see our loved ones.

  That was a very well done show that was both informative and respectful. &nbsp;I pray for all the crew members of the Lagarto, and their family members. &nbsp;May they find peace in knowing the fate of their &nbsp;boat has been discovered.

  The inner doors on the torpedo tubes are designed to be stronger than the pressure hull!
