A German U-boat from the Second World War has been identified on the seabed 20 miles (32km) off Salcombe, Devon, 82 years after it went missing.

The submarine was discovered by divers in August, leading to its identification as the U-672. The find places the wartime vessel off the south Devon coast, although the supplied information does not give further details about the circumstances in which it was lost or how the identification was confirmed.

The discovery brings the location of the missing U-boat to light more than eight decades after the Second World War. No further information has been provided about the condition of the submarine, the divers involved or any plans for additional investigation at the site.
