Divers Describe Finding Of All Fated British Sub
Portsmouth England divers reported the sunken British submarine Affray lies on the edge of an underwater precipice in the English Channel. An 18 inch hole in the breathing tube could have allowed rapid flooding of the engine room after she sank, killing crew including marine commandos. A five man team from the Reclaim found the sub after a nine week search, lowering to 288 feet in observation chambers, working in shifts to endure underwater pressure. The snort tube was bent and broken, with the rudder undamaged, suggesting the crew had little time to respond.
