I noted your article and saw this one in the same site: http://www.foxnews.com/science/2016/09/22/last-shipwreck-from-wwis-battle-jutland-found-near-norway.html Dated 9/22 2016: I don't recall if it was previously posted or not

The wreck of the British warship HMS Warrior — the "last shipwreck" from the Battle of Jutland during World War I — has been discovered near Norway. It is in unspoiled condition-upside down. The marine exploration team that found the shipwreck also recently located the wreck of a World War II-era British submarine in the same region.
HMS Warrior/with torpedo netting booms...Untouched since her sinking; a museum time-capsule!

The wreck was discovered in a search on 24 August 2016 The ship lies completely upside down, at a depth of 80 meters in an area of soft sea bed, up to the level of the upper deck. The ship appears to be largely intact, with no sign of the illegal metal salvage that has occurred on other Jutland wrecks. Warrior is the last of the 25 ships sunk at the Battle of Jutland to be located. There are concerns that the wreck may be exploited by illegal metal scavengers, despite the wreck being protected by the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986.
