Wreck of WW2 Japanese ship found off Luzon

(UPDATE) DEEP-SEA explorers said Saturday they had located the wreck of a World War 2 Japanese transport ship, the Montevideo Maru, which was torpedoed off the Philippines killing nearly 1,000 Australians aboard.

The ship — sunk on July 1, 1942 by a US submarine whose crew did not realize it carried prisoners of war — was found at a depth of more than four kilometers (2.5 miles), said the maritime archaeology group Silentworld Foundation, which organized the mission.
