09:34 - U-boat successes map improved
Improved the map of ships hit by the most successful U-boats. We only have A-Z (26) markers labels and the map had a problem if asked for more than that (ships would be missing on map). Now ships after the 26th are shown with a plain marker. See successes of U-107 for example. 43 hits by only 26 names labels, now all 43 are visible and working. This affects about 20 most successful boats. This will be improved further soon.
11:11 - New WWI wreck found?
Yahoo News is reporting that a Type IIB U-boat from WWI has been found largely intact with 23 crew members still on board. We don't know if this is really a new wreck find or something we knew already about since there is no location given. But if a new discovery if might be one of UB 27, UB 29 or UB 32 which have not been located as far as we know. See our map of WWI U-boats discovered since their loss.
