The submarine– the wreckage of it, at least, was found by the University of Tokyo’s Tamaki Ura off the shore in Japan. According to the country’s records, it likely struck a mine off the shore in 1944. 

The wreckage of a U.S. submarine from World War II was found off the coast of Hokkaido in northern Japan — after disappearing almost 80 years ago. The USS Albacore was positively identified by the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) after its initial discovery. 

Archaeologists employed by the NHHC utilized the underwater imagery provided by Ura’s team to confirm the remains of the submarine.
