My great uncle was lost on the Kete, and I grew up listening to my Grandmother talk about him and submarine. To see this, and to see all of the information and photos avaiable now, has really helped me to bring my family’s history to life. Thank you.

David, I believe that sign is a “knock” to Harold. The prediction he made was not only awkward, but the scripture under it shows why…Because it is impossible to know the day and the hour!!!

Not at this point, it does not. This has been a very busy year for me and I have not been able to post as frequently as I’d prefer. Tip: get it up and going and little by little new ideas for content will come to you.

This is the official story:
RO-41(a Japanese sub) was sunk east of Okinawa by a U.S. destroyer on 23 March 1945, and two other Japanese submarines were sunk southeast of Okinawa near this date. Conditions attendant to Kete´s loss suggest the likelihood that one of these submarines might have torpedoed and sunk her and been unable to report the attack before being sunk. Thus, Ketemust be considered probably a loss due to an unreported enemy attack.
To me, the “conditions attendant to Kete’s loss” suggest that one of the (unnamed) Japanes subamrines was actually the Kete, sunk by our own navy! What a sad story, if true. Kearn

Hey there! I know this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask. Does managing a well-established blog like yours take a large amount of work? I’m brand new to running a blog however I do write in my journal everyday. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!

My cousin Donald L. Bergadine was on USS Kete. I have so much information about what happen to USS Kete. Former USS Kete mate Dallas Dolan was forced to transfer to different ship. He tried to warn about problems with USS Kete and no one listen to him and not only that there were 4 experience crew were removed and put inexperience or unfamiliar what was going on with USS Kete. That possible leaded into problem with USS Kete and sunk?
