The expedition on Nov. 3 and 4 was led by the Nautilus Live team, funded by the Office of Naval Research and commanded by Dr. Robert Ballard , who found the Titanic wreckage in 1985.
The submarine carried 10 torpedoes in the forward section and had two periscopes. Video shows a torpedo resembling a 'Nerf gun' lying on the sandy bottom near the submarine. A propeller was visible at the back end of the torpedo. The video also showed the wreckage of another submarine, the I-401, which was a 400-foot submarine, and the largest submarine ever built. It remained the largest until 1965, when the U.S. built the Benjamin Franklin, according to Nautilus Live.
