I-Guam Visitors Bureau (GVB) iphethe uchungechunge lwamasonto amabili lwesikhumbuzo sokuhlonipha iminyaka eyi-100 yokucutshungulwa kwe-SMS Cormoran II. Umkhumbi waseJalimane wachitha iminyaka emibili nengxenye eGuam ngo-1917, ngaphambi kokuba i-United States ibe yingxenye yeMpi Yezwe I. Ngo-April 6, 1917, i-US yangena ngokusemthethweni iWWI futhi yaba izitha neJalimane.
Okuxakayo ukuthi izisebenzi zaseCormoran nabantu baseGuam, kuhlanganise neButho Lasemanzini Lase-US, base benobuhlobo obunobungane. Umsebenzi usadinga ukuthi i-US Naval Governor ifune ukuthi ukaputeni waseJalimane anikeze umkhumbi kanye nabasebenzi bakhe. Ukaputeni wathumela umyalezo wokuthi anganikela ngezisebenzi zakhe, kodwa hhayi umkhumbi wakhe. Ngo-April 7, 1917, i-SMS Cormoran yahlakazwa futhi yacwila ngaphansi kwe-Apra Harbor yaseGuam.
Ngokudabukisayo, naphezu kwemizamo yakhe yokukhipha umkhumbi, amatilosi ayisikhombisa afa phakathi nokugencwa kweCormoran. Izidumbu eziyisithupha zatholwa futhi zangcwatshwa ngokuhlonishwa okuphelele kwezempi emathuneni ase-US Naval e-Hagåtña. Imicimbi emibili ekhethekile yabanjwa ngoLwesihlanu, ngo-April 7, 2017 ukuze kukhunjulwe iminyaka eyi-100 yokugenca. Eyokuqala yamiswa olwandle, ngenhla ngqo kwendawo lapho i-SMS Cormoran II ilele ngamafidi angu-110 (34 amamitha) ngaphansi. Okwesibili kwenzeke ntambama emathuneni asolwandle ase-US lapho amatilosi ayisithupha angcwatshwa khona futhi netshe lesikhumbuzo laseCormoran laphinde lanikezelwa noqwembe lwesikhumbuzo.
Phakathi nenkathi yesikhumbuzo, i-GVB yaxhumanisa uchungechunge lwezinkulumo zomlando e-US National Park Services T. Stell Newman Visitors Centre ePiti. Izazi-mlando ezimbalwa zase-Guam ezaziwa kakhulu ze-Cormoran nomlando weziqhingi zabamba iqhaza njengabafundisi abayizivakashi. UDkt Bill Jeffery unikeze inkulumo mayelana nohlelo lwemivubukulo yasolwandle ngoLwesithathu, ngo-Ephreli 5th futhi waphinda ngo-Ephreli 11th. Inkulumo yayigxile kakhulu kwi-SMS Cormoran II. UDkt. Jeffrey ungumsizi kaProfesa Wezifundo Zesintu eNyuvesi yaseGuam futhi ungumtshuzi oshisekayo. Ngomhla ziyisi-6 kuMbasa izazi-mlando uRufus Hasplur waseLamotrek eYap, Federated States of Micronesia kanye no-Toni Ramirez we-Guam Historic Preservation Office banikeza inkulumo esekelwe ekulandiseni komlando odluliselwa ngomlomo kubantu ababehlala namatilosi e-SMS Cormoran II ngesikhathi sokuhlala kwakhe isikhashana I-Micronesia.

U-Musto wabelana ngendaba yesiphetho se-Cormoran nokuthi eminyakeni engamashumi amabili nesithupha kamuva, i-Tokai Maru yamjoyina ngesikhathi seMpi Yezwe II. Ukuphahlazeka kwemikhumbi emibili kuthintana ngaphansi kolwandle futhi kwakha indawo eyodwa kuphela emhlabeni lapho ukutshuza kungathinta imikhumbi emibili evela eziMpini Zomhlaba ezahlukene ngesikhathi esisodwa.
NgoLwesibili, Ephreli 11, isazi-mlando seNational Park Service uDave Lotz wethula inkulumo ethi “The German East-Asia Squadron, umsuka wendaba yaseCormoran yeMpi Yezwe I”. Ngaphezu kokuba isazi-mlando, uMnu. Lotz ungumbhali oshicilelwe kanye nomhambi ochwepheshe wendawo yemvelo yaseGuam.
