The USS F-1 submarine sank in seconds after it was badly damaged in a collision with another U.S. Navy submarine.

Nineteen of its crew drowned in the accident, and three were rescued by the other sub.

The discovery was made by an expedition to the site earlier this year by researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution .

The expedition also surveyed the wreck of a Navy training aircraft that crashed nearby in 1950 .
