Pearl Harbour Attack Sub found

[tinman]

Heard on the news yesterday that one of the Japanese minisubs that was sunk the day of the attack on Pearl Harbour was found accidentally in a debris field near the entrance to Pearl. It was sunk by a destroyer when it was found trailing a freighter into the harbour two hours prior to the air attack. Didn't say how deep the water was but that it was intacted and its two torpedos were in place. Hatch still sealed, conning tower only apparent damage. Found by an underwater submersible going through trials. Amazing archeological find. "Minisub" was apparently a two man vessel of approx. 60 foot by 6 foot. Hadn't been found before because it was among a debris field of war surplus gear dumped by US Navy after the war....and on your left is a tank...oh and on your right is a sub with live torps....I imagine some strong emotions tied to this find on both sides of the ocean...

If I remember right the news last night said 1200 ft.

Interesting mix we'll need to reach it. My decoplanner won't handle the depth; however, my hand calculations suggest something along the lines of 4% O2 (I didn't take the time to calculate the He) and one heck of a deco obligation.
