A team of Greek divers has discovered recently the wreckage of an Italian submarine that was sunk by the Allied forces in 1941 off Mykonos, according to greekreporter.com.
The “Jantina,” which sank on July 5 from the torpedoes of the British submarine HMS Torbay, lay at the bottom of the Aegean without anyone knowing its exact location for over 80 years.
Kostas Thoctarides, the leader of the team who found Jantina at a depth of 103 meters (338 feet) off Mykonos, told the Athens Macedonia News Agency (AMNA) that he knew that the wreckage was in the area, but “we did not know exactly where.”
