…Those findings, presented Tuesday at the American Geophysical Union fall meeting in Washington, D.C, validated earlier determinations including a Navy court of inquiry that San Diego was sunk by a mine deployed by U-156 and not by a torpedo or a saboteur… link

We need some sort of graphic for forehead slapping and eye rolling… The ship's sinking, to the ocean floor 100 to 110 feet deep some six miles south of Long Island's Fire Island, marked the first and only loss of a U.S. Navy ship during World War I Except for maybe Jacob Jones, torpedoed and sunk seven months earlier…. And never mind the overuse of commas and the tense problems sink/sunk/sank. At least the author did not use sinked. D- for research and grammar.
