Atılay Submarine
Also known as: Atılay
Atılay was built at Germaniawerft in Kiel and commissioned in 1939 as one of the first modern submarines of the Turkish Republic. On 14 July 1942 it dived from Morto Bay to help calibrate the magnetic submarine detection loops in the strait and hit a leftover mine. All 39 men aboard died, one of the saddest losses in Turkish naval history. The wreck sits upright on its keel in deep water. The park warns that depth, strong currents and the risk of explosive remains make it unsuitable for recreational diving.
