The hull was marked with Cyrillic letters.[3] The pictures from the wreck showed that the yellow[4] submarine was standing on the sea bottom with its tower pointing straight up.[5] The diving group informed the Swedish Armed Forces on Monday 27\u00a0July 2015, and video material from the wreckage was handed over for analysis.[6] The hull of the wreck features the “hard sign” \u042a in the final position. Since this usage was discontinued during the 1917 orthographic reform, it indicated that the ship predated the Soviet era.[7][2]  On 28\u00a0July 2015, a statement was released by the Swedish Armed Forces public relations office that stated that analysis of the video footage and other evidence indicated that the wreck was “most likely” that of the Imperial Russian Navy Som-class submarine Som (\u0421\u043e\u043c\u044a).[8]Som sank with all hands on active service in 1916 after a collision with the steamship \u00c5ngermanland in the Sea of \u00c5land, somewhere between Arholma and the Svartklubben lighthouse.[9] According to several sources who previously worked with submarine analyses for the Swedish Armed Forces, the location of the submarine had been known for at least one year.[10]As of 28\u00a0July\u00a02015[update], the Swedish Armed Forces considered the wreck to be of historical or marine archaeological interest rather than military, and handed over the case to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. The ministry consequently informed the Russian embassy in Stockholm.[9]Table of ContentsOcean X Team[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Further reading[edit]Ocean X Team[edit]The Ocean X diving group is a privately owned salvage operator not affiliated with the Swedish military. It previously found an American Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress in 1992,[4] and 2,400 bottles of 1907 champagne in 1994.[11][12]The wreck was discovered by using an ROV (remote operated vehicle) called V8 Sii from Ocean Modules in \u00c5tvidaberg. The ROV was equipped with a grapple, a video camera and a Blueview sonar made by Teledyne.[5]See also[edit]References[edit]^ a b H\u00e4gg, Marie; Sj\u00f6qvist, Hanna Aler (27 July 2015). “Ok\u00e4nd ub\u00e5t hittad i svenskt vatten” [Unknown submarine found in Swedish waters].
