Yeah! An interesting fact about this ship is that her three sister ships Proteus, Nereus and Cyclops dissapeared without a trace in the Bermuda Triangle. Thats weird :o

Chary, I did research to the Cyclops (I wanted to do it in FD) And I found a new paper that she was found back recently! :)

Interesting that all three of them vanished without a trace. I've read that there were possible structural problems with the hull and those various derricks look a bit top heavy. The NUMA website describes how the wreck may have been spotted off of Norfolk, but so far no one has been able to confirm it.

Very interesting, thanks for that. Must have been a design fault. Would be great if someone discovered the wreck again. :P
