Who killed Prien?

we should have a better idea on the cause when they find the wreck of U-47 at the bottom of the Atlantic.

I am surprised it has not been located yet, considering all the other wrecks which have found in recent years.

Dont think there is an answer to this. Not definitive atleast.

I think your sig might have something to do with it!

I Think the ONLY way it will be found is by an expedition looking for something else when the ROV cable snags on the hulk of the U-boat. Nobody is going to mount an expedition to find it, chances are just way too low. It will only be found by total chance, if ever. In another 50 years, there won't be anything left to find, and then that will be buried by silt.

That would be quite the find. I don't know how'd they ID the boat though, unless they went inside.

They keep finding new u-boats and other wrecks, although most of them are in relatively shallow waters (i.e. Less than 300 feet) and accessible to scuba divers.

Probably an errant torpedo, they seemed to follow Prien (pun intended),

Unfortunately defective torpedoes weren't invented before Royal Oak.

It's not very likely they'll ever find her. The sub sank in a very deep part of the ocean, and considering the manner in which subs usually go down (i.e. implode from the pressure) it's probably in a pretty poor shape. Not very many wrecks this small tend to be located that deep, and even with radar searches it's unlikely to be easily identifiable as a U-boat, let alone a specific boat. I think there's almost no chance the boat will ever be found, and even if it's found, it's improbable that will yield any clues as to how it sank.
