Shipwreck hunters have discovered the wreck of a British submarine that sank near Greece in 1943, solving an 81-year-old mystery about its disappearance. HMS Trooper, designated N91, went missing in early October 1943 after a covert operation to land three Greek resistance agents on Kalamos, an island off Greece 's west coast. The submarine was subsequently dispatched to patrol the Aegean Sea, where German soldiers were later known to have laid naval mines.
" According to Thoctarides, 14 earlier expeditions failed to locate the wreck of HMS Trooper because they were searching too far east, where the submarine had reportedly been seen on Oct. 14, 1943. He and other academics examined wartime sources and concluded that HMS Trooper may have sunk earlier in October 1943, among the seized Greek islands west of that location. Their study paid off when they discovered the wreck of HMS Trooper on October 3, 2024.
