Divers Discover Nearly Intact Rare German WWII Torpedo Boat in Ionian Sea
Divers from AegeanTec have discovered the LS 6, a rare German World War II torpedo boat, nearly intact at a depth of 96 meters in the Ionian Sea off western Greece. The vessel sank in September 1943 and is believed to be the last surviving example of its class. The decade-long search was guided by historical documents and archival research, and the ship's aluminum construction contributed to its exceptional preservation, offering valuable insights into wartime naval design.
