Is this correct?
The Dutch navy has discovered the wreck of a German World War I submarine sunk by a mine on its maiden voyage and the remains will become an official war grave, the Dutch Defence Ministry announced Wednesday.
The wreck of the U-106 is lying on the seabed 40 metres (130 feet) underwater. It is 65 kilometres (40 miles) north of Terschelling, an island in the Wadden Sea off the northern Netherlands.
The sub sank in October 1917 after hitting a mine with the loss of all 41 crew, Dutch navy spokesman Lt. Col. Robin Middel told The Associated Press.
The 71-meter (233-foot) sub fell foul of an allied minefield in the North Sea at the end of its first voyage, during which it had torpedoed two British ships, Middel said.
