Ten submarines slipped beneath the waves, and despite sonar, robot explorers and decades of searching, not one of their wrecks has ever been found. From a French boat that vanished while ships were still listening to her, to the U-boat that humiliated the Royal Navy at Scapa Flow, each disappearance hides a story of daring, disaster and sometimes deadly mistaken identity. Hundreds of men remain on eternal patrol somewhere in the deep, and the ocean has never given up their resting places.
