The wreckage of a US Navy submarine that sank the most Japanese warships during World War Two has been found in the South China Sea, some 80 years after it was sunk by enemy forces.
The USS Harder was found 3,000ft (914m) below water off the Philippines’ northern island of Luzon.
The Harder was sunk in battle on 29 August 1944, along with its crew of 79 men.

This ship sounds like a bad 80s movie sequel
USS 2: USS HARDER!
you need to have a USS Hard first.
which vaguely sounds like a soft core porno with a bunch of sweaty sailors.

I think the full registered name was “USS: Hard 4UBB Attack Sub”
“You thought we were hard the first time? Get. HARDER.”
funky bass riff playing
Yippie Kai yay
Of course I remember AFTER commenting that the only good sequel with “harder” is also by far the best known one 😄
Though technically that was only in the tagline of Die Hard 2 rather than the title and it came out in 1990, not the 80s, so I’m still on solid ground here 😁
2 Hard 2 Harder
Hard 3: Pacific Drift
Followed up by the fourth movie, Hard and Harder
Fifth movie:
H5
It sank because it wasn’t better, faster or stronger
USS faster and USS stronger were later additions
Their story would make a good movie sounds like.
They went down taking everything with them.
Yeah, I just finished going down a wikipedia rabbit hole about it all.

Cool article. I just wish they would provide more images of the vessel as it lies and detail what caused the sinking.
