WWI Submarine Found After 108 Years Lost at Sea

After 108 years lost at sea, the WWI-era USS F-1 submarine has been discovered off the coast of San Diego. The wreck, found by researchers using deep-sea exploration technology, lies on the ocean floor, now a home to marine life. The USS F-1 sank in 1917, killing 19 crew members after a collision during a training exercise. "This discovery is a remarkable feat," said Bruce Strickrott, of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. "It offers a unique opportunity to study a well-preserved example of a WWI-era submarine and understand its history." The discovery highlights the enduring mysteries of the deep ocean and the potential for uncovering significant historical artifacts.
