NOAA will lead a research expedition July 7-26 to study the wrecks of three German submarines sunk by US forces in 1942 off the coast of North Carolina during the Battle of the Atlantic. During the expedition, researchers will survey and photograph visible sections of the three submarines, U-352, U-85 and U-701 using non-invasive methods. The survey team will also study marine life found at the sites.
