Reply to comment by panzerkrau in Previously unreleased footage from first submersible dives in July 1986 to the RMS Titanic shipwreck — British passenger liner that sank 14-15 April 1912 remains about 4,000 metres undersea in the Atlantic Ocean by marketrent
The wreck of Scorpion? Tons of information about it, but a lot still classified as she carried two Mk 45 nuclear torpedoes.
Really fascinating to read about how the search area was determined and conducted, and then the investigations in to why it sank. Long story short, Bayesian search functions let them find a very small needle in a very large haystack quite quickly; the same method used after the B-52 crash at Palomares.
"Blind Mans Bluff" is a good starting point.
