There were fears that Putin could detonate a nuclear weapon in a strong message to the West. Satellite pictures by expert naval observers operating in the Barents Sea, a part of the Arctic Ocean, are understood to have spotted the Belgorod submarine in recent days, the Sun reports. Belgorod - the world's largest operational submarine at 604ft and weighing in at 30,000 tonne - was 'lost' by Nato, prompting a warning to be issued two days ago. 23, 1942, the British Navy sent a naval signal indicating Triumph should be considered lost after patrolling the Aegean.A huge submarine that is thought to be armed with Putin's Poseidon underwater drone missiles has been spotted by satellite. Traces of Triumph soon begin to disappear, according to reports. "This fact leads us to believe that the Triumph launched more than one torpedo during its last attack."Īfter the attack, Triumph then continued its patrol, making its presence felt in Milos and Naxos, Greece. "Recently, in the same underwater area, we identified three more British Mark VIII torpedoes of the same type with those carried by Triumph and even within range of the attack," Thoctarides said. 9, 1942, at 11:45 a.m., Triumph began its torpedo attack of an enemy ship south of Sounion, Greece. That would be the last signal Triumph would send. The following day, the submarine reported an encrypted signal indicating the successful completion of the first phase of its last mission, according to Thoctarides. 29, Triumph sailed into Despotikos Bay, Greece, before heading out on its last patrol. The purpose of the mission was to carry out two special operations as well as conduct an aggressive patrol in a specific area of the Aegean assigned to it by British officials. Triumph departed from Alexandria, Egypt, for its final mission the day after Christmas 1941. It was the fifth submarine wreck Thoctarides and his underwater project company, ROV Services, has found in Greek waters. and a search of German and Italian archives, he began the mission. Thoctarides was first informed about the history of Triumph in 1998.
The final cause of the sinking, Thoctarides said, appears to have been a high-power explosion in the front section of the submarine.

On the fore side of the bridge, Thoctarides said the door leading to the gunnery was open with all the hatches closed. "The hatches on either side of the cannon leading inside the hull are also shut." "In its tower, you can see the wooden wheel helm, compass, and 4-inch cannon that is slightly raised upwards," Thoctarides said. Depth and directional rudders were also found straight, indicating they were at a steady depth. The sub's periscopes and hatches were found down, indicating that Triumph was on a deep dive at the time of its sinking, according to Thoctarides.

It carried out 20 patrols and saw significant successes during its operation, sinking several enemy ships and the Italian submarine Salpa. Triumph was lost in the blue waters of the Aegean on Jan. "The wreck site is treated with respect as it is a maritime war grave of 64 people," said Thoctarides regarding the seven officers, 55 crew members and two commandos onboard. Thoctarides said the sub was initially located with an Echo Sounder with the help of his daughter, Agapi-Oceanis, who is almost 21 years old and the first certified female ROV pilot in Greece. Triumph is coming to light after it was found more than 660 feet below the blue waters of the Aegean Sea.
