Nancy Kenney's long quest to find what exactly happened to her father came to an end Friday when navy divers confirmed that a submarine found sunk in the Gulf of Thailand was in fact the USS Legarto.

Kenney, of Lake Leelanau, was only two years old when her father went down on a mission to attack a Japanese convoy. But for the past six decades she has been trying to piece together the story of how and where her father was lost. This New York Times piece tells the story of the investigation that finally answered her questions.
