Divers discover Royal Navy warship 110 years after it was lost | History | News

After a century, the divers found a royal navy warship after a century. HMS Nottingham took action during World War I.

An international group of divers in ProjectXPLOR found the debris in the North Sea. The team searched for the stumps, telegrams and graphics of the ships, which led them to scan an area 60 miles away from the shores of Scotland and to scan an area located 82 meters below the sea bed. When they entered him, they found ‘Nottingham’ written with plates with the royal navy emblem as well as Stern. The group is sure that HMS Nottingham is due to the dimensions of the ship, the main arming, anchor equipment, armor, drive and condition.

HMS Nottingham was a light cruiser built just before the 1st World War I was built for the royal navy. He was one of the three ships of the Birmingham lower class and was completed in early 1914.

Nottingham joined most of the first fleet protests, including Helligoland Bight, Dogger Bank and Jutland wars, and helped to sink several German ships during the wars.

On August 19, 1969, a warship met a German submarine U-52. Three torpedo hit and sank. The divers found two of the torpedo hit on the port side.

Captain, 20 officers and 357 crew members were rescued by the royal navy resumed for the sinking of the ship, but 38 British soldiers were killed.

Despite many attempts to find the last resting place of the ship, the debris was difficult to now. HMS Nottingham was the cruiser of the last lost royal navy of World War I.

The ship is thought to be the world’s best preserved city -class cruiser, because most of the others were sold to leave between the 1920s and 1940s.
