One of the most celebrated
submarines of World War II could soon be located 70 years after she was
scuttled to avoid falling into enemy hands.
On Aug. 14,
1943, the H.M.S. Saracen was deliberately sunk by her crew
near the town of Bastia, on the
northern coast of the French island
of Corsica, after being damaged in
a clash with Italian warships. She has lain undisturbed at the bottom of
the Mediterranean ever since, but now a new operation to
find her wreck is under way.
