Search team locates French submarine that disappeared in 1968

搜救小组找到1968年失踪的法国潜艇

A French submarine that went missing more than a half-century ago with 52 sailors aboard has been located by a search team using a boat belonging to a US company, according to a report.

据报道,一艘载有52名船员的法国潜艇在半个多世纪前失踪,搜救队使用一家美国公司的船只找到了这艘潜艇。

“It’s a success, a relief and a technical feat,” Defense Minister Florence Parly said on Twitter after the wreck of the Minerve was discovered some 30 miles off the southern French port of Toulon, according to Agence France-Presse.

据法新社(Agence France-Presse)报道,“密涅瓦”号残骸在法国南部港口土伦(Toulon)约30英里外被发现后,法国国防部长弗洛伦斯·帕利(Florence Parly)在Twitter上说,“这是一个成功,一个宽慰,也是一项技术壮举。”

“I am thinking of the families who have waited for this moment for so long,” she added.

“我想到了那些等待这一时刻许久的家庭,”她补充说。

Previous efforts to find the diesel and electric-powered submersible, which was lost on Jan. 17, 1968, during a training mission in bad weather, were unsuccessful.

1968年1月17日,这艘由柴油和电力驱动的潜艇在恶劣天气下执行训练任务时失踪。

Amid renewed demands from the crew’s families to locate the lost sub, Parly announced a new search effort at the start of this year involving naval vessels and marine experts.

随着船员家属再次要求找到失踪的潜艇,帕利在今年年初宣布了一项新的搜索行动,海军舰艇和海事专家也参与其中。

The discovery was made Sunday by the Seabed Constructor, which belongs to the private US company Ocean Infinity. It found the wreck at a depth of 7,800 feet, a senior French naval officer told AFP.

这一发现是由美国私人公司——海洋无限公司的海底建造者号在周日发现的。一位法国高级海军军官告诉法新社,他们在7800英尺深的海底发现了这艘沉船。

The Seabed Constructor also was successful in finding Argentina’s San Juan submarine in November 2018 after it had disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean a year earlier.

2018年11月,阿根廷“圣胡安”号潜艇在一年前消失在大西洋后,海底建造者号也成功找到了这艘潜艇。

“It’s a relief, hugely emotional,” Herve Fauve, the son of the Minerve’s captain, told AFP about the latest discovery. “These 52 sailors had been abandoned in some ways.”

“密涅瓦”号船长的儿子埃尔韦·福夫在接受法新社采访时谈到了这一最新发现,他说:“这是一种解脱,非常激动。”“这52名水手某种程度上被遗弃了。”

Therese Scheirmann-Descamps, the wife of one of the lost sailors, Jules, told AFP that she couldn’t find the words to describe her emotions.

其中一名失踪船员朱尔斯的妻子特蕾莎·希尔曼-德斯坎普告诉法新社,她找不到合适的词语来描述自己的情绪。

“It’s extraordinarily soothing, for my children too. It’s such a surprise, such a joy,” she said Monday from her home in Toulon.

“对我的孩子们来说,也是一种极大的安慰。真是太惊喜,太高兴了。”她周一在土伦的家中说道。

Jacques Dannay, who was only 2 two when his dad disappeared on the sub, said earlier this year that he hoped the search mission would give him closure.

当他的父亲在潜艇上失踪时,雅克·丹奈只有2岁,今年早些时候他表示,希望这次搜寻能给他一个结果。

“I know it’s stupid, but for me my father isn’t really dead for as long as we haven’t found the wreck,” he told AFP. “If someone told me he was alive, I’d probably believe them.”

“我知道这很愚蠢,但对我来说,只要我们没有找到沉船,我父亲就不是真的死了。”他告诉法新社。“如果有人告诉我他还活着,我可能会相信他们。”

The cause of the Minerve’s loss has never been confirmed, but experts have offered a variety of theories, including a problem with the rudder, a collision with another boat, the explosion of a missile or torpedo, or a fault with the sub’s oxygen supply systems.

“密涅瓦”号沉没的原因从未得到证实,但专家们提出了各种各样的理论,包括方向舵出现问题、与另一艘船相撞、导弹或鱼雷爆炸,或者潜艇供氧系统出现故障。
