From the June 14, 2012 , New York Daily News.
The torpedo contained 600 kg of explosives and was found off the Crimean seaport of Sevastopol, scene of much fighting between Axis and Soviet forces during the war.
It was two kilometers off the shore and the first discovered since 1945. Ukranian officials are planning to blow it up.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
