U-513

Post by West-Front »

The remains of the German submarine U-513 have been discovered off the coast of Brazil. The sub was sunk by bombs dropped from an American plane in July 1943. Only seven of the 53 men on board survived the attack. Researchers from Kat Schurmann Institute and Vale do Itajai University located the U-513 almost 68 years to the day after it sank. On 14th July 2011 the side-scan produced definitive images of the remains of a pressure hull on the ocean bottom.
