Commander of submarine that was missing for 50 years remembered fondly by former marine officer
On Monday, the French Navy
found the wreckage of the Minerve submarine,
which disappeared off the coast of Toulon in the Mediterranean Sea in 1968, killing 52 Navy members on board.
We have just found the Minerve. It was a successful operation, a moment of relief and a demonstration of technical prowess.
AsterX drone
Following requests from bereaved families to renew searches to find the submarine,
a French navy team used the high-technology AsterX drone capable of submerging up to 2,300 metres underwater to find it.
The cause of the submarine’s accident remains unknown.
