Australian naval submarines were found off the coast off the island of Papua New Guinea after more than a century of disappearance.
Australian Defense Minister Marise Payne has reportedly found 300 meters of World War I-era HMAS AE1 wreckage near Duke York Island in Papua New Guinea, according to Guardian.
HMAS AE1 was Australia's first naval submarine, disappeared on 14 September 1914 off the coast of Papua New Guinea without any emergency signals.
According to navy historians, the search ships have not detected any traces, even though it is just a trail of oil on the water surface of HMAS AE1.
At the time of the disappearance, the HMAS AE1 submarine had just been put into service for about seven months. There are 35 crew members from Australia, New Zealand and England. The submarine is likely to crash into a coral reef, which is perforating the water so fast.
"The missing HMAS AE1 was a tragedy for our nascent nation, which is one of the most significant discoveries in the history of the Australian Navy," said Payne. emphasize.
Australia's Defense Minister said it would investigate the cause of the accident and said it was communicating with the descendants of the missing sailors.
