More underwater news: sunken French battleship found



ROME -- A French battleship sunk by a German submarine during World War I has been discovered in remarkable condition on the Mediterranean seabed off Sardinia, officials say.



The Danton, a 410-foot-long (125-meter-long) warship that was one of the largest French naval vessels of her era, was spotted by a company conducting an underwater survey for a gas pipeline between Algeria and Italy.
