French battleship intact after nearly a century under water
A French battleship sunk by German torpedoes in 1917 is lying upright and almost intact at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, where it was found by an unmanned submarine surveying a proposed gas pipeline route between Italy and Algeria.

Details of the Danton’s discovery were released at a news conference Thursday in Milan, Italy, where the pipeline construction company, Galsi, is based.
The condition of the World War I-era ship is "extraordinarily good," said Robert Hawkins, a project director with Fugro, a geotechnical, survey and geosciences company based in the Netherlands.
