<HTML>I saw a documentary on T.V. recently about a Japanese submarine that sank late in W.W.II.
It was transporting people and cargo from Japan covertly to Germany. Unfortunately for Japan, the submarine was sunk before it got there in 16,000 feet of water. I think it was the I-52, but this may be incorrect.
Anyway, 50 years later, they made a Bob Ballard-like search to try and find it. Sure enough, their R.O.V. found it sitting on in the mud almost upright at a massive depth of about 16,000 feet.
Anyone else hear about this? It was interesting...</HTML>
