Sinking History On August 24, 1945 or August 25, 1945 believed to have sunk in La Perouse Strait due to unknown causes, possibly, collision with a sea mine. The entire crew of 53 went down with the submarine. During July 2006, a Russian dive team “Iskra” was searching for L-19. At the request of Wahoo Project Group, they diverted from their normal routes to scan two sites. The first site was a freighter. The second was USS Wahoo SS-238.
