Funna krigsskeppsvrak (sammanfogad tråd /Mod)

Bara några veckor efter att kryssaren Karlsruhe påträffats på Skageracks botten, har man vid polska kusten hittat hennes namne, ångaren SS Karlsruhe. De flesta av forumets deltagare torde ha hört om sänkningen av Wilhelm Gustloff, Goya och General von Steuben under andra världskrigets sista månader, där flera tusen människor miste livet. Karlsruhe var också ett av de fartyg som sänktes då hon deltog i evakueringen av tyska civila undan sovjetarmén.

A team of Polish divers say they have found almost intact the wreckage of German World War II steamer Karlsruhe, which was bombed by Soviet planes and sunk in the Baltic Sea in April 1945, with the loss of hundreds of civilian and military lives.

The 10-member Baltictech team say the wreckage rests 88 meters (290 feet) under the sea dozens of kilometers (miles) north of Poland's coastal resort of Ustka.

On April 11, 1945, the steamer left the port of Pillau — which is now the Russian port of Baltiysk — with 150 troops of the Hermann Goering regiment, 25 railway workers and 888 civilians, including children, and hundreds of tons of cargo.

On the morning of April 13, 1945, the ship was spotted by Soviet planes, bombed and sank within about three minutes. Some 113 of its passengers were rescued by the convoy, among the 1,083 on board, according to Nazi Navy documents, a German cable intercepted by the British and survivor accounts stored in German archives.

Utanför Phuket har man sannolikt hittat ubåten USS Grenadier, som sänktes år 1943 av sin egen besättning efter en japansk torpedattack.

Divers working off the coast of Thailand have discovered the wreckage of a submarine they believe to be the USS Grenadier which was lost in 1943 during World War II.

The Grenadier was one of 52 US subs that were sunk during the war. The 1,475-ton, 307-foot long vessel was scuttled after a Japanese plane damaged it with bombs. The crew scuttled the ship and all 76 crewmembers survived.

However, the crew was captured by the Japanese and they were beaten, tortured, and almost starved to death during their two years in captivity. Four of them didn’t survive to the end of the war.

Tunisian divers have discovered a French submarine wreck from World War I, the Ariane, which was sunk by a German submarine in 1917.

The craft was spotted off Cap Bon by managers of a diving club in the country's northeast as they were exploring new sites student divers.

"We knew they were wrecks but we didn't know what we were going to find," said the diving director of the Ras Adar club, Selim Baccar.

Vraket av jagaren USS Johnston, som sänktes 1944 vid den filippinska ön Samar, kunde lokaliseras 2019. Men eftersom det ligger på sex och en halv kilometers djup, är det inte helt lätt att få bilder därifrån ...

A submersible has dived to the world’s deepest-known shipwreck.

The vessel reached the USS Johnston, which lies 6.5km (4 miles) beneath the waves in the Philippine Sea in the Pacific Ocean.

Explorers spent several hours surveying and filming the wreck over a series of dives.

The 115m-long US Navy destroyer sank during the Battle off Samar in 1944 after a fierce battle with a large fleet of Japanese warships.

Victor Vescovo, who led the expedition and piloted the sub, said: “The wreck is so deep so there's very little oxygen down there, and while there is a little bit of contamination from marine life, it's remarkably well intact except for the damage it took from the furious fight.”

Utanför Mykonos i Egeiska havet har grekiska dykare hittat vraket av den italienska ubåten Jantina. Hon torpederades den 5 juli 1941 av brittiska HMS Torbay och gick till botten med 48 man. Bara sex man överlevde.

I Adriatiska havet har man hittat vraket efter SS Principe Umberto, ett italienskt trupptransportfartyg som i juni 1916 sänktes av den österrikisk-ungerska ubåten U-5. Nästan 2.000 människor omkom - mer än vid sänkningen av något annat fartyg under WWI. (Hade ni alls hört om fartyget förr?)

Eskortjagaren USS Samuel D. Roberts, som sänktes under slaget i Leytebukten i oktober 1944, har hittats på nästan sju kilometers djup. Det är det djupast liggande vrak som upptäckts!

A U.S. Navy destroyer that engaged a superior Japanese fleet in the largest sea battle of World War II in the Philippines has become the deepest wreck to be discovered, according to explorers.

The USS Samuel B. Roberts, popularly known as the “Sammy B,” was identified on Wednesday broken into two pieces on a slope at a depth of 22,916 feet (6,985 meters).

That puts it 1,400 feet (426 meters) deeper than the USS Johnston, the previous deepest wreck discovered last year in the Philippine Sea also by American explorer Victor Vescovo, founder of Dallas-based Caladan Oceanic Expeditions. He announced the latest find together with U.K.-based EYOS Expeditions.

Den tyska ubåten SM U-111 överlämnades till de allierade efter vapenstilleståndet 1918. Hon bogserades till USA, där hon blev en stor sevärdhet. 1922 sänktes hon ute till havs utanför Virginia. Nu har hon hittats på 490 meters djup.

The team plans to send divers to U-111 next year, as well as complete a 3-D photogrammetric model of the U-boat. They’re keeping its exact location under wraps.

Maritime historian Aaron Hamilton notes that the U-111 marks an important moment in the technological evolution of submarines. “The fact that it’s been found and can now be documented and photographed is a is a significant achievement,” he says.

I Irländska sjön har man hittat lastfartyget SS Mesaba, som torpederades av en tysk ubåt 1918. Hon var ett av de fartyg som i april 1912 skickade ut en varning för is - en varning som tyvärr aldrig nådde Titanic.

Ubåten, som ble senket av den tyske ubåten U-4 i 1940, ble funnet i vår gjennom Mareano-programmet, på 160 meters dyp utenfor Rogaland. Nå har forskere funnet ut hvilken ubåt det er i forbindelse med et nytt tokt. Det skriver Havforskningsinstituttet (HI).

– Etter å ha undersøkt vraket ved hjelp av kamera, kunne vi fort konstatere at det var snakk om en ubåt, sier senioringeniør Kjell Bakkeplass til Havforskningsinstituttet.

Ubåten USS Harder, som blev känd som "Hit 'em Harder" har hittats på drygt 1.140 meters djup utanför Luzons norra kust. Hon sänktes med hela sin besättning på 79 man i augusti 1944, efter att ha sänkt en lång rad av fiendens fartyg.

Nu har man utanför Skottland hittat den bepansrade kryssaren HMS Hawke, som sänktes av en tysk ubåt i oktober 1914.

Lost wreck of WW1 warship found in 'remarkable' condition
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9qg4z1149eo

A wreck discovered off the Aberdeenshire coast is believed to be a lost Royal Navy warship sunk by a torpedo during World War One.

HMS Hawke was discovered by a team of divers about 70 miles east of Fraserburgh earlier this week in "remarkable" condition.

More than 500 of the ship's crew died when it was attacked by a German U-boat in October 1914.

The ship caught fire and, following an explosion, sank in less than eight minutes with just 70 sailors surviving.

Nu har man hittat jagaren USS Stewart, sjösatt 1920, sänkt av sin egen besättning i Surabayas hamn i mars 1942, bärgad av japanerna ett år senare och under resten av Stillahavskriget under japansk flagg, bogserad tillbaka till USA efter krigsslutet 1945, och 1946 sänkt under en manöver utanför San Francisco.
