World War Two era Japanese submarine found off Hawaii coast

HONOLULU, Dec 5:  Scientists plumbing the Pacific Ocean off the Hawaii coast have discovered a World War Two era Japanese submarine, a technological marvel that had been preparing to attack the Panama Canal before being scuttled by US forces. The 122-meter ‘Sen-Toku’ class vessel – among the largest pre-nuclear submarines ever built – was found in August off the southwest coast of Oahu and had been missing since 1946, scientists at the University of Hawaii at Manoa said.
