Very interesting Stephen...thanks. There seems to be a resurgence of interest in these in recent years, and WWII boats in particular. That this was found by amateurs is really special.
It would appear the the US Navy confirmed the recent USS Wahoo discovery on Halloween.

Reading the war patrol reports for these is fascinating stuff.
