Divers Discovered The Remains Of A Submarine From The Cold War

After All Of The Action It Saw

In August 1963, the years of active service finally took a toll on the submarine. That was the month that it cruised close to the surface for a battery recharge. Suddenly, it was caught in turbulent waters. The force of the waves led to a main battery fault that then caused a fire to break out in the sleeping quarters of the crew. A submariner died during this incident, which also injured five others. After several weeks of repairing it, however, it was in active service once more.
