This is great news for our Navy and the remaining family members of the lost crew. One by one we are tracking down our lost ships.

Awesome news. I am still amazed that they had submarines over 100 years ago. Those were some very brave men.

Yes , it amazes me that people were brave ( or crazy ) enough to get into what was basically a huge drainpipe with a engine about as reliable as a Friday afternoon Lada and go under water in it . Glad they were found and God bless 'em

That sub is thought to have imploded and the wreckage is probably very deep. Also the South Atlantic is one of the worst for storms. I doubt they will ever find the poor buggers. They are lost for ever.
