Submarine that went missing on secret World War II mission found after 20-year search
The wreck of a British submarine that helped pioneer special forces operations has been discovered off the coast of Greece, where it sank during World War II.
Veteran Greek diver Kostas Thoctarides announced on social media he found the wreck of HMS Triumph at an undisclosed location beneath the Aegean Sea, the AFP news agency reports.
It marked the culmination of his search for the missing Royal Navy vessel that spanned more than 20 years.
Thoctarides, who began exploring for the submarine in 1998, said in a Facebook post earlier this month it was "the hardest mission I have ever undertaken in my life".
He also posted video and photos of the wreck site at 200m below the sea, showing the submarine's compass, deck gun and steering wheel.
