http://www.pacerfarm.org/i-400/fig02f.jpgActually not so new news but always interesting! :up: We shouldn't have sunk it as it is a collector item IMHO :woot:"The wreckage of I-401 was discovered by the Pisces deep-sea submarines of the Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii_Undersea_Research_Laboratory) in March 2005 at a depth of 820 meters. It was reported that the I-400 was later found by the same team off the southwest coast of the Hawaiian island of Oahu in August 2013 at a depth of 700 m (2,300 ft). Jim Delgado, a researcher working aboard the Pisces V (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisces_V), told the Chicago Tribune (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Tribune) "It was torpedoed, partially collapsed and had sunk at a steep angle."

It wasn't found ... we have always known right where it was.

It was sank on purpose because we did not wish the Soviet Union to have any access to any of it's technologies.

That is what I thought. I can't imagine the United States Navy not recording the location of that sinking and therefore a relatively easy relocation other than environmental disturbance factors.
