   USS Flier (SS-250)

Search and Discovery of USS Flier

 

Over the years, there have been reports from the Philippine Islands that the wreck of USS Flier has been found and dove upon.  Until now, no conclusive evidence of the discovery has come out in reputable sources.

 

In a press release dated 1 February 2010, the Navy confirmed that the sunken submarine recently found in Balabac Strait is USS Flier.

 

Below are scenes from the upcoming episode entitled "Submarine Graveyard" in the Yap Films' production Dive Detectives.  The episode is scheduled to air on the National Geographic Channel.
