Until the 1960's there was a Civil War ships mast sticking out of the water near where I live and it was marked on a chart as a hazzard until the navy removed the masts. The ship has not been found yet, its likely been covered by dredging, still they know the general area by the old chart. I wonder how deep of water the sub is supposed to be. If it were so close to land it would seem weird that no one got out. I just found the story and am interested in it. I used to be a marine archaeologist and historian--if you know the general area, a magnetometer should find it. I'm also a diver and merchant marine captain--just in case you need someone with all those talents! Personally, I think the Navy would rather forget about it--one of those incidents that supposedly never happens in the US military.Triple Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06764989416668701387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706933110664101826.post-22499281987456460692010-11-12T15:52:24.390-08:002010-11-12T15:52:24.390-08:00so exciting to see something about the dorado. NO...so exciting to see something about the dorado. NO one seems to talk about it much. Love to find the sub and have some closure. My grandfather died on it. my cousin and I go to a WWII submarine memorial service every veterans day in his honor.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08868277576366628955noreply@blogger.com
