Sure, only that big on the [I]outside[/I]

I don't think we've ever operated in the Baltic sea, let alone build a submarine.
[QUOTE=OvB;48306928]If it's really old and the pressure vessel was compromised, there's probably no trace of any bodies. The ocean reclaims them entirely. Bone and all. All you would find are boots and jewelry and maybe cloth.[/QUOTE]
Entirely possible the pressure vessel remained intact, though. It's certainly possible for a submarine to sink and stay that way through total failure of the ballast tanks and be in shallow enough seas that it could come to rest on the bottom still intact inside.
Man I really hope they can raise that thing and put it into a museum or something. Submarines are rad as hell.

Swebonny confirmed for racist against Bulgarians.

They recovered bodies from a Confederate Submarine that sank in the American Civil war so its entirely possible even if compromised there the hull will still have human remains inside.

So have they figured out what sub it is?

There's definitely a possibility of bodies. Even if the pressure hull was breached, the water inside the sub is probably mixed with battery acid and all the other chemicals used in submarines. Unless the breach is in the perfect spot, most of that crap probably got trapped in there. It really isn't a good environment for aquatic life to come in and start claiming bodies as food.
This is my first time hearing that there are even subs that old

There are even older ones. Behold, the Efim Nikonov's submarine from 1724!

The idea is even older than that.

Alexander the Great had one.
[quote=wikipedia]The diving bell is one of the earliest types of equipment for underwater work and exploration.[1][B] Its use was first described by Aristotle in the 4th century BC[/B]: "...they enable the divers to respire equally well by letting down a cauldron, for this does not fill with water, but retains the air, for it is forced straight down into the water."[2] According to Roger Bacon, Alexander the Great explored the Mediterranean on the authority of Ethicus the astronomer. In 1535, Guglielmo de Lorena created and used what is considered to be the first modern diving bell.[/quote]
People have always been looking for a way to last longer underwater.
Any confirmation as to what sub it is yet?
Untill we get an official statement from oceanX we cant be 100% sure what it is.
Once we do im sure there will be a new thread for it.

wasnt the whole Alexander having a diving bell thing from basically a medieval novel?

I have no idea!
But the idea was clearly floating around back then. Someone surely tried it.

You did get it right with Aristotle describing the diving bell's concept, for the record.
The Alexander romance was a popular genre in medieval fiction, and was based around the legends/mythical exploits attributed to him
