USN:
An American submarine sunk by the U.S. Navy in the 1930s as part of a training exercise has been located off the Delmarva Peninsula on the Atlantic Coast of the United States. The World War I vintage submarine is reported to be intact and sitting upright on the ocean floor making it one of the few American submarines resting in diveable East Coast waters that had yet to be located.
The submarine known as R-8 (S.S. 85) was located by Atlantic Wreck Salvage (AWS), owner and operator of D/V Tenacious, using side scan sonar images. With historical records to determine the approximate location of the submarine, the team compared the data from the sonar scans with pictures of the R-8, concluding that they have located the submarine. Additional information about the depth or the location of the vessel is being withheld until the team can dive the wreckage and make a formal identification.

Imperial Japan:
Unable to keep up with the main Japanese fleet given their small displacement and the arrival of more modern and dedicated units, these old Japanese destroyers were pressed into service as patrol boats or as escort ships for convoys. Based in Palau and tasked with protecting the convoys from submarine attacks, 'Wakatake' was caught by US Aircraft when they launched an aerial campaign over the Palau Islands known as Operation Desecrate One. The ship was sunk during this action.
