The remains of a World War II submarine that disappeared with its crew of 70, including an Akron sailor, may have been found.
The Associated Press has reported that wreckage of a vessel found in the Bering Sea is likely the USS Grunion.
Pharmacist's Mate 1st Class Paul Sullivan, of Akron, and 69 other crew members were on the submarine that is believed to have gone down off the Aleutian Island of Kiska.
Sullivan joined the Navy after graduating from Garfield High School in 1933. At the time of his death, he was 27 and and married to his high school sweetheart, Norma Wolff.
The sailor's sea trunk is still in the Akron home where he grew up.
Current residents of the Firestone Park house, Patti and Fred Christ, and members of their family, believe the spirit of Sullivan still lives in the house.
''Its just amazing'' Christ said of the discovery of the wreckage. ''I wonder if it's possible for them to bring it up.''
Christopher J. Nicholson, who is with a Massachusetts company working with the search team, told the Associated Press this month that ''there's a 95 percent chance'' that the vessel found in the Bering Sea is the Grunion.
''The fact that they actually found this in an expanse of ocean is really pretty spectacular.''
Last summer, a team headed by the sons of the commander of the Grunion found an object underwater with sonar equipment near the spot where the submarine was thought to have gone down.
In October, several members of Sullivan's family traveled to Akron to again see the family's Firestone Park home. They also gathered for a funeral Mass for Paul Sullivan at St. Paul Catholic Church on Akron's Brown Street.
The Associated Press recently reported that a remotely operated vehicle recorded three hours of video footage of what is believed to be the Grunion on an underwater slope north of the Kiska island.
A forensic engineer and other experts plan to use the footage to piece together the Grunion's final hours.
