Dutch researchers found the wreck of a World War I German submarine in 2009 but kept the discovery secret until this week, Radio Netherlands Worldwide reported.
The crew of the research ship HNLMS Snellius hoped they'd found a Dutch submarine that disappeared in 1940, but the vessel turned out to be much older. A brass plate indicated the sub was the German U-106, which sank during World War I, the radio report said.
The announcement of the discovery was delayed while German officials confirmed the sub's identity and sought out relatives of crew members, according to the radio report.
A Dutch navy spokesman told Radio Netherlands the U-boat would not be raised but would be designated a war memorial.

Chumlee they may be mariners or seamen, but they are soldiers as well. Peahead!!!
Try calling a sailor a soldier or a Marine a soldier OR a sailor.
The branches of the service all have distinct designations for the members:
Air Force are airmen
Marines are Marines
Navy are sailors
Army is soldiers
You guys have just given me 10 minutes of pure laughter! Love all the funny comments going back and forth!
SP wouldve shot n skinned it
Maybe made a stew with root vegetables
Germans have big wieners
If you were all history majors, well educated and have the abillity to relate the only comment here or anywhere would be IMPEACH OBAMA. I guess no one learns from history, sad
o
first(semi) successful attack was by the u s's Turtle in New York Harbor during rev war
What I want to know is what does Sarah Palin have to say about this?
Seriously, it is cool that they found the sub. I would assume that it is entirely flooded by now but it would be interesting to know what it's overall condition is.
Who is Sarah P?
Does this mean you're a liberal, tankrothcild?
unless I missed the comment, not sure how this came up, but you're right, the media and the left are obsessed with her. if they would stop, we could be rid of her by now.
That has nothing to do with this article. You're just looking for an argument, ya troll! Get out and stay out!!!
"wushu" ????
U obviously cant come up with an appropriate post for THIS story because of ignorance, lack of intelligence or both, so U fall back on a canned rant fed to U by UR handlers. really too bad UR parents were allowed to breed.
And once again we see the low level of American education
And a redneck is a waste of potentially harvestable organs and blood pproducts that might actually do some good for others instead of spreading hate, lies, and ignorance
Germans are some of the greatest contributors to human progress. Read a book (even Wiki), turn off Starcraft and go find a lady.
But you won't..
