Japanese researchers have located the wreck of USS Albacore, one of the most successful U.S. submarines of World War II, off the island of Hokkaido, where the sub sank after hitting a mine in November 1944.
The U.S. Navy has confirmed that a wreck off the Japanese island of Hokkaido is that of USS Albacore, one of the most successful U.S. submarines of World War II.
The research for the project started in 2019, but an initial survey scheduled for 2020 had to be postponed until 2022 due to COVID-19 restrictions, Ura said in an email. Submarine wreck Image 1 of 2According to U.S. Navy records , USS Albacore was one of the most successful American submarines of World War II, with 10 confirmed sinkings of enemy vessels and three unconfirmed sinkings.
But several distinctive modifications, including a radar dish and a row of vent holes on the superstructure, have enabled researchers to confirm that the wreck is that of USS Albacore, the statement said. "It is a hallowed site that represents the last resting place of American sailors who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation," Lt. Ian McConnaughey, a spokesperson at the NHHC told Live Science in an email."When we find a ship like this, it's akin to Arlington National Cemetery for the Navy."
