Glad,

Imagine what the POW's had gone through....then sunk and left adrift in the middle of the Pacific.....to then see a Submarie surface....not knowing if it was friend or foe....knowing the outcome of it being Japanese.

Then to realize it was an American Sub.....

God knows it must have been heart breaking for the sub crews knowing they had sunk a POW ship even if they did not know at the time there were POW's aboard.

One's heart has to go out to all of those Men....POW's and Sub Sailors!
