French submarine lost in 1968 found at last

The Minerve submarine was lost off France's southern coast with 52 sailors on board on January 17, 1968. A French submarine that went missing in the western Mediterranean in 1968 has been found, officials said Monday, ending a 51-year wait for families of the crew who continue to seek answers to the naval disaster.

Defence Minister Florence Parly on Twitter hailed the discovery as "a success, a relief and a technical feat", adding she was thinking of the families who had "waited for this moment for so long." Tides and currents in the western Mediterranean were modelled by the French team, as well as seismic data from the time that indicated the likely implosion of the vessel as it dropped to the seabed.

The Seabed Constructor was also successful in locating Argentina's lost San Juan submarine in November 2018 which disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean a year earlier.The cause of the loss of the Minerve has never been confirmed but the news that it has been found fought joy and relief to families.

the French are always losing stuff. I dated a French chick so I'm not exagerating. Car keys, purse, lipstick, nuclear warhead, frozen turkey and on and on it went. Exhausting.
