If you see any 100+ year old russian guys walking the streets of sweden muttering “emergency, everybody to get from street”, he just might be one of the crew.

Would love to find out what kind of condition it’s in. Whether it could be raised, repaired and used to shake down cruise ships, like the Rat Pack did with the sunk Uboat in “Attack on the Queen”

I was surprised on it’s condition. Especially if it happened in 1916.

Speaking of condition.

Just a little hijack, but along the same line of conversation

To the submariners and other learned naval experts here, can anyone give an explanation why we have not explored the wreck of the Scorpion with a dedicated ROV?

If I recall one of the forward hatches on the bow was blown open..

Som [the presumed Russian submarine], was originally the Fulton, an experimental submarine that was the prototype for USS Plunger and subsequent Plunger-class submarines. It was sold and delivered to Russia in sections and re-assembled in St. Petersburg Link

Because there are questions no one wants publicly answered, even now?

Yeah, my conclusion as well. Even if we did find out the Sovs sank her, Obama will blame us and go to war with us over it. /s
