USS Lagarto was the 21st submarine built in Manitowoc by the Manitowoc Shipbuilding Company. On its second war patrol, Lagarto was lost during an attack in the Gulf of Thailand.

Nearly 60 years to the date, the wreck was discovered. Wisconsin Maritime Museum Submarine Curator, Karen Duvalle will share the journey after the discovery, which will include incredible stories of the crew, finding and meeting their families, discoveries and connections made along the way, and how this discovery set the standard for more WWII submarine wrecks.
