Interesting nonetheless!

did Vendor give directions to a submarine crew again?

very interesting, indeed! I wonder that nobody thinks of potential (enviromental) hazards which the boat could cause...

here you'll find a short video, it shows only the con tower most of the time however: http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article8653356.ab

I found a submarine from 1914 that I thought was 50 years old, but I think this one has been lying there since the 1970s or 1980s

he could have asked here...

"Andre...you've lost another sub?"

Wouldn't surprise me if it was a Whiskey, would certainly blow the lid off a can of worms that's been puzzling Sweden for a while. Perhaps that's why the military is in no rush to confirm its identity, I think they'd rather just put that era behind them and ignore it.

That photo is for sure a post WWII Soviet Sub, not some 1914 wreck. Very likely a Whiskey class.

If this sub wrecked I would be very curious if there is still crew aboard her, or if they rescued the crew of by DSRV or something.

For reference, it is a whisky

Read it in a swedish paper.

It always interests me these wrecks that show no sign of what caused the sinking. To what purpose to investigate the sub?

To find out what did cause the sinking because its not obvious?
