A remarkable discovery has recently been made in the depths of the ocean - a 4D photogrammetry model of the USS Harder wreck site. This historic US Navy submarine met its fate during World War II, almost 80 years ago. Despite the passage of time, the vessel remains relatively intact, resting upright on its keel at a depth of over 3,000 feet. It was located off the coast of Luzon, a Philippine island, after its last known location in the South China Sea.
According to the Naval History and Heritage Command, the submarine has suffered some damage from depth charges, particularly in the area behind the conning tower. Such findings can be challenging to confirm, but thanks to the data collected by the command's Lost 52 Project, the NHHC was able to verify the identity of the sunken vessel.
In a statement made last Thursday, NHHC Director Samuel J Cox reminded us that the USS Harder was one of the many sacrifices made during the pursuit of victory and freedom. He expressed his gratitude towards the Lost 52 Project for providing the opportunity to honor the courage of the crew of the "Hit 'em HARDER" submarine. The vessel, under the leadership of legendary commander Sam Dealey, was responsible for sinking the most Japanese warships in daring attacks.
It is important to remember the price of victory and freedom, as well as the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for it. The discovery of the USS Harder wreck site serves as a reminder of the incredible feats accomplished by our military during World War II. Thanks to the efforts of the Lost 52 Project and the dedication of the NHHC, we can continue to honor the legacy of those who gave their lives for our country.
