The hide and seek games with 'Russian submarines' in Swedish territorial waters continue.

Just months after the sightings of Russian submarines turned out to be false, Sweden seems to be at it again. On Monday, a Swedish team of underwater explorers claimed to have discovered the wreck of a WWI Russian submersible that sank as far back as 1916.

"They finally found a Russian submarine in Sweden's waters. The suspicions of [Swedish] authorities have been confirmed – it sank there back in 1916. The search took a long time," the State Duma's head of the foreign affairs committee Alexei Pushkov joked on Twitter.

The Som-class submarines were designed by the Electric Boat Company, a subsidiary of the major US submarine manufacturer General Dynamics Corporation. The first Som watercraft, earlier known as Fulton, was transported to Russia and delivered to Vladivostok in 1904. A total of seven Som-class subs were built for the Imperial Russian Navy in 1904-1907.

Anyway, "ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find."
