Man scheint in Pearl Harbour das letzte der fünf japanischen Kleinst-U-Boote entdeckt zu haben. Es ist jenes, das vermutlich einen Torpedotreffer auf der West Virginia erzielt hat.

Pearl Harbor Day - NOVA Announces Finding Missing Mini-submarine in ‘41 attack

(ChattahBox) — On the anniversary of the 1941 attack that led the United States into World War II, new evidence reveals the Japanese also attacked Pearl Harbor from under water, as well as the air.

The “NOVA” television series announced today that a routine test dive in the waters near Pearl Harbor has uncovered the find that could rewrite the history of the Japanese attack on the U.S on December 7, 1941, which claimed the lives of more than 2,400 Americans and drew the nation into World War II. A team of researchers on an underwater expedition led by the signature PBS science series recently discovered three sections of mysterious steel wreckage deemed by experts to be the unaccounted-for fifth and final Japanese midget submarine used against the U.S. in a top-secret mission to attack the American fleet from below on that day. The compelling new evidence suggests that the sub fired its torpedoes at U.S. ships in Battleship Row before it sank, most likely at the battleships West Virginia and Oklahoma, capsizing the latter. Five Japanese “mother” submarines approached within a few miles of Pearl Harbor before the Dec. 7 battle, each carrying a Type-A, two-man, midget submarine, about 80 feet long and 6 feet wide, NOVA said.

Vielleicht muss da ein Teil der Geschichte neu geschrieben werden.
