A United States Navy submarine that disappeared during the First World War has been located in the Pacific Ocean.
According to international media, the vessel lies at a depth of approximately 1,300 feet to the west of San Diego. The submarine, identified as the USS F-1, sank during a wartime exercise. 19 sailors lost their lives in the incident.
Recent exploration of the site has produced a detailed map of the wreckage using advanced equipment.The operation also served as a training cruise for both pilots and engineers.
The mission was led by Bruce Strickrott of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. His team, capable of reaching depths of up to four miles, captured images and video from the ocean floor.
This capability allowed the team to carry out direct observation of the wreckage.
High-resolution photographs and video footage of the submarine have also been produced by the team.
