On this weekend, when we honor those brave service members who gave their lives for the cause of liberty, for the cause of our country, we should take a moment to remember that not all fell in battle. Those who gave their all in other incidents – training accidents, for example – made their sacrifice for our nation as well.
Now, the fate of 19 U.S. Navy sailors who perished after a collision at sea in 1917 is a little better understood, as divers have found their last resting place, the undersea grave of the submarine USS F-1.
A military submarine that crashed over 100 years ago has finally been found on the bottom of the ocean.
The huge Navy vessel was discovered off the coast of California after being lost during a training accident in 1917.
It was spotted in sand next to a training aircraft that had crashed into the sea in an unrelated incident in 1950.
