Legendary WWII Submarine USS Harder Discovered in South China Sea

Researchers have located the wreck of the WWII submarine USS Harder at the bottom of the South China Sea, largely intact except for damage to its conning tower. The discovery was made by the Lost 52 Project, which aims to find and memorialize all 52 US submarines sunk during the war. The Harder, known for its audacious attacks and significant number of enemy kills, was sunk by Japan in 1944. The find underscores the importance of underwater photogrammetry and robotic technology in deep-sea exploration.
