Navy sunken military craft ensures it is protected from disturbance, safeguarding the final resting place of our sailors,” head of Naval History and Heritage Command’s underwater archaeology branch, Robert S. With the correct information, underwater vehicles and advanced imaging technology, the team discovered the Grayback about 100 miles from the area they first thought it would have sunk. “That changed the location by more than 100 miles.” “It was off by one digit,” Taylor told the Washington Post. To unravel the mystery of the long-lost submarine, Taylor relied on Yutaka Iwasaki, a system engineer who studied the original Japanese military documents and discovered that the Navy’s translation of the coordination was wrong. The sub had sunk 21,594 tons of shipping on its final mission alone, and overall, the submarine is credited with sinking 14 ships with 63,835 tons of cargo, according to Naval History and Heritage Command. The sub was sunk in February 1944 by a Nakajima b5N carrier bomber, while on a mission in the East China sea, according to a video announcement from the Lost 52 Project. On Sunday, undersea explorer Tim Taylor and his team at the Lost 52 Project announced they located the USS Grayback on June 5, buried almost 1,400 feet underwater, about 50 miles south of Okinawa, Japan.
