Scientists captured never-before-seen images of the World War I-era USS F-1 submarine wreck off California's coast, honoring 19 sailors lost in 1917.
The U.S. Navy submarine, USS F-1, went down after a collision with its sister ship on Dec. 17, 1917, and now sits 1,300 feet below the surface on the ocean floor off San Diego. "It was a profound honor to visit the wreck of the F-1."
"It was an incredibly exciting and humbling experience to visit these historically significant wrecks and to honor the sacrifice of these brave American Sailors," Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) Underwater Archaeologist Brad Krueger said in a statement.
