In March 1941, the German U-boat U-47, commanded by the renowned Günther Prien, disappeared mysteriously during its 10th patrol in the North Atlantic. Known for its daring exploits, including the sinking of HMS Royal Oak, U-47 was a key player in the Battle of the Atlantic. Its final moments remain uncertain-some believe it was sunk by British destroyers HMS Wolverine and HMS Verity, while others suggest it struck a mine or suffered an internal malfunction. With no wreckage or survivors ever found, the fate of U-47 remains one of World War II’s enduring naval mysteries.

Not impressed with the incorrect video elements.
They don't seem to care anymore. Hurricane and F-16 are both fighters.😂
Even with the advanced technology the submarine hasn't been found?
The images of the sub in this video are NOTHING like U-47
