abandoning ship in the Atlantic Ocean.AP/US NavyBOSTON  Divers have discovered 
a World War II-era German submarine nearly 70 years after it sank 
under withering U.S. attack in waters off Nantucket.The U-550 was found 
Monday by a privately funded group organized by New Jersey lawyer Joe 
Mazraani. It was the second trip in two years to the site 
by the team, some of whom had been searching for the lost 
U-boat for two decades.Using side-scan sonar, the seven-man team located 
the wreck listing to its side in deep water about 70 miles 
south of Nantucket.Sonar operator Garry Kozak said he spotted the 252-foot 
submarine during the second of an exhausting two days of searching. Kozak 
said the team asked him if they'd found it, then erupted in 
joy without a word from him."They could see it with the grin 
(on my face) and the look in my eyes," Kozak said.On April 
16, 1944, the U-550 torpedoed the gasoline tanker SS Pan Pennsylvania, which 
had lagged behind its protective convoy as it set out with 140,000 
barrels of gasoline for Great Britain, according to the U.S. Coast Guard 
website and research by Mazraani.The U-boat slipped under the doomed tanker 
to hide. But one of 
 the tanker's three escorts, the USS Joyce, 
saw it on sonar and severely damaged it by dropping depth charges.The 
Germans, forced to surface, manned their deck guns while another escort 
vessel, the USS Gandy, returned fire and rammed the U-boat. The third 
escort, the USS Peterson, then hit the U-boat with two more depth 
charges. The crew abandoned the submarine, but not before setting off explosions 
to scuttle it. The submarine hadn't been seen again until Monday.The U-550 
is one of several World War II-era German U-boats that have been 
discovered off the U.S. coast, but it's the only one that went 
down in that area, Mazraani said. He said it's been tough to 
find largely because military positioning of the battle was imprecise, and 
searchers had only a general idea where the submarine was when it 
sank. Kozak noted that the site is far offshore and has only 
limited windows of good weather.The team towed a side-scan sonar vessel 
in a mow-the-lawn pattern over the search area and found the U-500 
after covering 100 square miles of ocean, between the trip this year 
and last year, Kozak said.Just the nose of U-boat was visible on 
sonar on the first pass, but the team was delirious after the 
second pass. when the sonar image made it obvious they'd found it, 
Mazraani said. Quick dives to the wreck to beat bad weather confirmed 
the find with pictures.The other team members were Steve Gatto, Tom Packer, 
Brad Sheard, Eric Takakjian and Anthony Te
