The USS F-1, a World War I-era U.S. Navy submarine, was recently discovered by researchers off the cost of San Diego, California. The discovery comes 108 years after the submarine was “lost at sea” in a training accident in December of 1917.
In a recent press release, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) announced, “A deep-sea training and engineering dive off the coast of San Diego provided an opportunity for never-before-seen imagery of the U.S. Navy submarine USS F-1, lost at sea in an accident on December 17, 1917, that resulted in the death of 19 crew members.”
