Fresh Investigation in 2018
Tim Taylor took up the case in 2018 when he decided to re-examine the disappearance of the submarine and also to review the submitted case. As such, it was during this time that the mystery was unraveled about the truth. Taylor started the Lost 52 Project, a private initiative that is bent on finding the remains of the 52 missing submarines of World War II. You might wonder what the point was…
A U.S. – Japan Team Research
Taylor teamed up with Yutaka Iwasaki, a Japanese researcher, to help sort out the files on the Sasebo base. This base was used during the Second World War as the base for the Japanese Imperial Navy. The site hosted daily radio contacts from both Naha and Okinawa Island and was also the location for Japanese naval air. It was a heartwarming sight to behold, that of former enemies uniting to discover the remains of their conflict.
