"A World War II German U-boat, sunk during the Battle of the Atlantic more than 72 years ago, has been discovered off the coast of North Carolina, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Tuesday.
The German sub, the U-576, was found at the bottom of the Atlantic 30 miles off Cape Hatteras and just 240 yards from an American merchant ship, the merchant tanker Bluefields, which was part of a 24-ship U.S. convoy heading from Virginia to Key West, Florida, on July 14, 1942."

That's a weird looking boat...

It looks like a 16-bit representation of a U-boat for an old C64 video game.

Very cool! Wish all ocean traffic could tow arrays, bet we'd see some really cool stuff.

Yes.
The count at least 24 ships that were sunk in the GOM due to U-boat torpedoing.

And only one sunk U-Boat, which was fairly recently found.

Look at that picture made me want to go play some Missile Command. The graphic quality was very similar...

More than that
When the war broke out we had close to zero ships that could do antisub warfare in the Atlantic and gulf. Go look up operation drumbeat. Atlantic pearl harbor that no one knows about.
