I was stationed at Cam Ranh Bay during all of 1970 and was not aware of this sinking. I didn't see anything in the article which indicated that it was ever found, but that might have happened years later.
You can get into serious trouble on our new/modern submarines. For all of you guys still riding the boats....be careful out there.

I yahooed the word Phenix (and Phoenix) plus any number of word combinations to find out the ultimate fate of the sub........the closure story, I suppose you could call it.
I'm sure no attempt was made to raise the submarine given the depth of the water and the state of rescue devices in 1939.
However, I couldn't locate one article on this tragedy. It appears the written history and memories of the the ill-fated vessel have vanished along with the sub and its crew. Too bad.
