“...If true it would re-write naval history....”
How cool would THAT be...
Didn’t they find the USS Monitor (from Monitor vs Merrimac fame) some years back, and try to raise that???
I recall seeing that - maybe... it might have been here on FR, actually...
It was the Monitor class Ironclad USS Tecumsa (sp?) that was sunk in the Battle of Mobile Bay—not the USS Monitor—that went down in a storm.
