On 10 April 1940, the British submarine HMS Tarpon was sent to Norway to intercept the German merchant ships, but it disappeared without a trace. Until now, after nearly eight decades, people suddenly discovered the body of the ship.
According to the information revealed, the submarine HMS Tarpon sank on the Danish coast, about 80 km from the port city of Thyboron. HMS Tarpon has a length of 84 m, which served in the Royal Navy during World War II from March 8, 1940. Unfortunately, HMS Tarpon's career only lasted one month and two days. .
The submarine lost contact on April 10 after it received combat missions and moved to the Norwegian coast. According to German archives, the British attempted to attack a German ship called the Schiff 40, but the British torpedo shot did not hit the target. Meanwhile, the Germans found HMS Tarpon and they dropped some heavy bombs that made the submarine disappear on the radar. There are at least 50 people on board.
Danish divers examined the ship's submarine and found that the ship was severely damaged, broken glass was broken, and many of its hulls were in an open state. Based on the traces of damage, it can be concluded that HMS Tarpon was submerged almost immediately. Currently the ship is located at a depth of about 40 meters but the exact location is kept secret.
