The final resting place of three German U-boats, nicknamed "Hitler's lost fleet", has been found at the bottom of the Black Sea.

Must have been quite a road trip.

after 60 something years at the bottom of the black sea - 1st one at 80 ft of deapth, I figure that rust most have gotten it, WRT the others... probably the same thing.  They may be able to recover the china but not much else.

Just to point out that the Black Sea is extremely reducing (merimictic for those so inclined) so there is actually a good chance that the subs are in a preservable/salvageable state. If they can raise the Hunley, what else is possible?
