File picture reveals the Minerve submarine in Marseille, France.

The French Navy collaborating with US-based subsea expedition company Ocean Infinity has actually located the missing out on wreck of the ‘Minerve’ submarine, which went missing out on in Mediterranean Sea off the shore of France in 1968 with the loss of all 52 lives aboard.

French Armed Forces Minister Florence Parly made the news in a tweet on Monday, “We have just found the Minerva. It’s a success, a relief and a technical feat. I think of the families who have been waiting for this moment so long.”

The French submarine went missing out on in the western Mediterranean on January 27, 1968. The root cause of the sinking is still unidentified.

A French main informed press reporters that the wreck was found Sunday evening about 30 miles southern of Toulon, more southern than formerly assumed.

The Minerve was found with aid of Ocean Infinity’s Seabed Constructor, which is furnished with very qualified Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). The wreck was found at a deepness of 2,370 meters (7,800 feet), the AFP reported an elderly French marine policeman as stating.
