French Submarine That Vanished in 1968 Is Found in the Mediterranean

By Elian Peltier

    July 22, 2019

PARIS — The wreckage of a French submarine that sank in 1968 with 52 crew members onboard has been found in the Mediterranean, the authorities said, ending a five-decade mystery over a vessel that was once one of the jewels of the French fleet.

“It’s a success, a relief and a technical feat,” the French armed forces minister, Florence Parly, wrote on Twitter, announcing the discovery of the vessel, the Minerve. “I am thinking of the families who have waited for so long for this moment.”

The wreckage was found by the Norwegian-flagged research vessel Seabed Constructor, 28 miles from the southern French port city of Toulon — and about 1,470 feet underwater. The Seabed Constructor, operated by the American ocean-mapping company Ocean Infinity, is the same craft that in November found the San Juan submarine that had gone missing in 2017 off Argentina’s coast with 44 sailors onboard.

For me the NYT article is behind a paywall. This BBC article is not. This W'pedia article gives a little background info. Looks like she was a diesel-electric rather than nuclear. She sank just 30 miles from her base.

1968 must have been a bad year to be on a sub. We lost the SSN Scorpion that year, too.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

So  51 years later, a moodern nation has not found their vessel, 28 miles from their shore?

But the Norse find it.

WHY their website presents you with this.
With your "first" visit, the site placed a cookie on your computer.
Each successive time you visit, that cookie gets updated.
So... the site -knows- you've been there 10 times.

What to do:
DELETE the cookie(s) your browser has accumulated from the New York Times, and there will be no "record" of your having been there.
Then it will see you as a "new" visitor, and present the page to you to read.

ANOTHER WAY (works with obtrusive ads and popups):
DISABLE Javascript in your browser (with Safari on the Mac, that's a snap).
Now you can read "the text" of the page without all the annoying crap.

ANOTHER WAY:
Download and try out the "Epic Privacy Browser" (they have it for Windows as well as for the Mac).
Epic keeps no history or cookies, and you can set it so that it browses "via a proxy server". What this means is that the sites you visit can't identify you or see your IP address (unless you "identify yourself" to them).

There are a few sites out there these tricks won't work, such as The Wall Street Journal or Forbes.
That's ok.
I do my browsin' somewhere else.

Who were they running away from when they sank?
