The wreck of the British submarine ‘H.M.S. Triumph’, who mysteriously disappeared during a mission to Greece during World War II, has been discovered in the Aegean Sea, according to the Greek news agency Ana.
The remains were seen “at a depth of 203 meters in the Aegean Sea” and “tens of kilometers from the coast” by the team of the Greek diver Kostas Thoktaridis, who began the investigation in 1998.
The 84-meter-long T-class submarine is linked to “the resistance against the Nazi occupation at the time in Greece and the British secret services,” Kostas Thoktaridis was quoted as saying by Ana.
“All 64 crew members perished during the sinking,” according to the same source.
The “Triumph” carried out about twenty war missions between 1939 and 1942.
But on January 23, 1942, during its 21st mission in the Aegean Sea, the British Navy indicated that the submarine was “reported missing.”
Among the hypotheses about the causes of the sinking, the collision with a mine off the island of Milos, its capture by German forces in cooperation with Italian agents or an explosion on the bow, according to Kostas Thoktaridis.
