The USS Grayback, a World War II submarine, was missing for over five decades until it was discovered off the coast of Okinawa in 2019.
The USS Grayback sank over 14 enemy ships, totaling more than 63,000 tons, during its service in World War II.
The submarine was named after the grayback fish, a type of herring found in the Pacific Ocean.
In the late 1950s, the USS Grayback was converted to carry Regulus I nuclear cruise missiles, becoming one of the first submarines to do so.
San Diego, known for its strong naval presence, was home to the USS Grayback during its active years, contributing to the city's maritime legacy.
