The lost British submarine “H.M.S. Triumph”, whose true fate had been shrouded in mystery ever since the vessel and its entire crew disappeared in 1942, has finally been discovered on the bed of the Aegean Sea by Greek researcher Kostas Thoktaridis and his team, after a search lasting roughly 25 years, ANA reports.
The submarine had disappeared without a trace, with all 64 crew members on board, some 81 years earlier, in the midst of World War II. Various attempts to find it had been mounted at various times by teams from the United Kingdom, Malta, and Russia, all without success.
It finally fell to Thoktaridis and his team to solve the mystery of its disappearance, after a search that first began in 1998.
The submarine appears to have sunk due to a powerful explosion in the fore section but the cause of the explosion is still unclear.
