失踪近百年美舰已找到 美海军史上最大谜团终解

据英国《每日电讯报》3月24日报道,美国当局23日表示,95年前神秘失踪的海军军舰在旧金山外海海底被发现,美国海军历史上最大的谜团之一也迎刃而解。


据报道,美国海军和国家海洋大气管理局(NOAA)在一份联合声明中称,载有56名船员的美国海军军舰“康史托加号”(USS Conestoga)于1921年3月25日驶离旧金山西海岸,在前往夏威夷珍珠港的途中神秘失联,该军舰也是美国在和平时期失去的最后一艘军船。

 

“康史托加号”的最终目的地是美属萨摩亚图图伊拉。1921年的天气记录显示该地区的风速从每小时23英里增加到40英里,海上也是惊涛巨浪。当军舰未能按照计划如期抵达时,美国海军在夏威夷附近发动了大规模的海上和空中搜索行动。两个月后,搜索队在墨西哥海岸附近发现了一艘印有字母“C”的救生艇。

 

NOAA副局长曼森·布朗说:“在经过近一个世纪的议论和极大的失落感后,‘康史托加号’的失踪不再是一个谜了。”最初在2009年,于法拉群岛附近工作的管理局调查团就在旧金山以西约30英里处发现了军舰残骸,直到2015年10月该残骸才被证实为当年消失的“康史托加号”。专家认为船只沉没时船员正试图在暴风雨的情况下完成一项保护海湾的工作。

NOAA在新闻发布会上说,海底的残骸基本上完好无损,虽然由于海水腐蚀和时间过久的原因,木甲板和其他组件都已经坍塌。船体被发现时也海葵和不同种类的海洋生物布满船体。但沉船中没有发现人类遗骸。
