Submarine Veterans Remember Those Lost At Sea on the USS Lagarto. The USS Lagarto went down during WWII in the Gulf of Thailand, May 4th 1945, with 86 men on board. The sub was found 4 years ago in 230' of water by British divers. The Lagarto's Commander F.D. Latta had his Harley-Davidson motorcycle on the sub with him when the sub went down. One of the speakers at the ceremony was the grandson of one of the 86 that went down with the sub. The names of the men that died on the sub were read and a bell was rung in their memory after each name was read.

Here are some pictures of the ceremony on May 2, 2009 at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. The ceremony was held on the deck of the USS Cobia. The Manitowoc County HOG Chapter was asked to participate in the ceremony in a special way. At the end of the ceremony the USS Cobia was started up, there was a 1941 Knucklehead motorcycle on the deck of the Cobia, which was to represent Cdr. Latta's Harley was also started up, and then the members from the chapter started up their motorcycles. It was pretty cool
