One of the reasons it could be so well preserved is that the oxygen content of the water might be very low.

Yeah, the Baltic is usually quite good to wrecks. Same reason that the Swedes were also able to raise the Vasa after more than 300 years and still find it in very good condition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_(ship)

If the sub itself is so well preserved...I wonder what condition the crew are in. This is one of those situations where the urge to raise such a pristine find is tempered by the knowledge that it's a grave...

First of all I was wrong. It wasn't a modern sub from either the 80s or later.
Could I be wrong if I write. Maybe the Swedish government allow some Russian company to raise the sub and take it home so the crew can get a funeral. Markus |
