The russian sub S-2 was just found outside the coast of Åland. It was last seen in 1940 and is supposed to have been sunk after running into mines.

The divers, arrogant bastards, reported the find only to Swedish and Åland officials. Åland is part of Finland but they even dream of independence.
Their teary comments about the dead crew also ignored the fact what they were attacking Finnish shipping and had it coming.
