2015 Swedish submarine wreck discovery[edit]

(

)

... that the submarine wreck found off the Swedish east coast in July 2015, was most likely the Russian Som that sank in 1916?

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook is reliable sourced and the article is neutral. I did not check for close paraphrasing because the sources are mainly in Swedish. It would be interesting to know at what depth the submarine was found. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:08, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Cwmhiraeth. AFAIK that information has not been released yet. There is a huge amount of speculations, theories and outright wild guesses surrounding the find in both Swedish and English press, but very few facts. Hence the rather condensed article. Even the location is very approximate. When writing the article we mainly went for the Swedish sources since the English (such as Telegraph, Reuters, Sky, Independent, Guardian) were mostly just citing the Swedish ones, sometimes in faulty ways. w.carter-Talk 09:17, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
