This sketch shows the conning tower in good condition and the overall state of the submarine
The location of the wreck is being kept secret to prevent it being plundered (file picture of UB-II type submarine)
Argentinos pov. laivo ARA San Juan (S-42) dingimas užvedė ant minties paieškot daugiau informacijos apie pov. laivų katastrofas. Štai ką pavyko rast - gal kam bus įdomu:
A series of incredible photographs showing more than 150 lost World War Two aircraft 130-feet under the Pacific Ocean has been released.
The stunning images show the planes surrounded by coral and fish as they lie - sometimes vertically - on the seabed more than seven decades after they were dumped there.
The find includes historic American aircraft including Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bombers, F4U Corsair and TBF/TBM Avengers.
...
Her pictures also show other Allied aircraft including Helldivers, B-25 Mitchell, Curtiss C-46 Commando and F4F Wildcats.
The planes would have been dumped into the ocean off of aircraft carriers and transport ships after the successful Pacific Campaign ended in victory for the US in August 1945.

The wreck of Australia's first naval submarine has been found after a 103-year search. The HMAS AE-1 was the first Allied submarine lost in World War One, vanishing off Rabaul, Papua New Guinea with 35 Australian and British crewmates onboard on 14 September 1914.
The 13th search mission for the vessel found it in waters off the Duke of York islands in Papua New Guinea.
The discovery solves Australia's oldest naval mystery, the government said.
"This is one of the most significant discoveries in Australia's naval maritime history," Defence Minister Marise Payne said on Thursday.
"It was the first loss for the Royal Australian Navy and the first Allied submarine loss in World War One; a significant tragedy felt by our nation and our allies."
1944 m. vasario 17-18 d. amerikiečiai operacijos "Hailstone" metu šioje lagūnoje paskandino apie 40 (pačiais kukliausiais paskaičiavimais) japonų karinių ir transportinių laivų:
Approximately forty ships—two light cruisers, four destroyers, nine auxiliaries, and over two dozen cargo vessels—were sunk.
Po vandeniu be laivų yra ir lėktuvų, tankų, šaudmenų, buities dalykų, žmonių kaulų etc.:
Pavydžiu Paului Allenui - aš irgi mėgčiau turėti tokį hobį...
Va dar vieną laivą rado - JAV laivyno lengvąjį kreiserį USS Juneau (CL-52), nuskandintą japonų Gvadalkanalo mūšio metu 1942 m. lapkričio 13 d.:
Wreckage from the USS Juneau (CL-52) was discovered on March 17, 2018, by the expedition crew of Research Vessel (R/V) Petrel. The Juneau was sunk by a Japanese torpedo during the Battle of Guadalcanal, ultimately killing 687 men including all five of the Sullivan brothers. The Atlanta-class light cruiser was found 4,200 meters (about 2.6 miles) below the surface, resting on the floor of the South Pacific off the coast of the Solomon Islands.
Šią savaitę skaičiau apie Kulos įlankos mūšį, kuriame JAV laivynas prarado lengvąjį kreiserį USS Helena (CL-50) - pasirodo Paulo Alleno komanda kovo gale atrado ir jį, o šią savaitę apie tai paskelbė:
The U.S. Navy light cruiser USS Helena (CL-50) at a South Pacific base, between battles, circa in 1943. This image has been retouched to remove radar antennas from the gun directors and masts.
Wreckage from USS Helena (CL-50) was discovered late March, 2018, by the expedition crew of Research Vessel (R/V) Petrel, which is owned by Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Paul G. Allen. Helena was sunk July 6, 1943 by three Japanese torpedoes during the Battle of Kula Gulf as her blazing guns identified her as a target to enemy vessels. The St. Louis-class cruiser was found 860 meters below the surface, resting on the floor of the New Georgia Sound off the coast of the Solomon Islands. To learn more, visit http://www.paulallen.com
Pietų Korėjos firma "The Shinil Group" rado rusų kreiserį "Dmitrij Donskoj", kurį jo įgula nuskandino 1905 m. gegužės 29 d. po Cusimos mūšio, kad neatitektų japonams:
The Imperial Russian armored frigate Dmitrii Donskoy at New York Harbor in 1893
Rašoma kad laivas galėjo transportuoti labai vertingą krovinį:
A sunken Russian warship believed to contain $130 billion in gold bullion and coins has been found off the coast of a South Korean island — 113 years after it was scuttled during the Russo-Japanese War, reports said.
...
The Russian Imperial Navy cruiser was carrying about 5,500 boxes of gold bars and coins — weighing some 200 tons — when it went down in 1905.
Na visų pirma kažkas nedraugauja su matematika - 200 tonų aukso dabartinėmis kainomis vertos tik "kuklius" 7,8 mlrd. dolerių, o antra - labai abejotina, kad rusai būtų siuntę tokį krovinį laivu, kuris plaukė į mūšį ir galėjo būti nuskandintas - saugiau būtų buvę jį pristatyti geležinkeliu (tuo metu jau veikė Transsibiro magistralė):
Регулярное железнодорожное сообщение между столицей империи Санкт-Петербургом и тихоокеанскими портами Владивостоком и Порт-Артуром было установлено 1 (14) июля 1903 года, хотя через Байкал приходилось переправлять поезда на специальном пароме.
Непрерывный рельсовый путь между Санкт-Петербургом и Владивостоком появился после начала рабочего движения по Кругобайкальской железной дороге 18 сентября (1 октября) 1904 года, а спустя год, 16 (29) октября 1905 года Кругобайкальская дорога, как отрезок Великого Сибирского Пути, была принята в постоянную эксплуатацию, и поезда впервые в истории получили возможность следовать только по рельсам, без использования паромных переправ от берегов Атлантического океана до берегов Тихого океана.
