A team of UK divers has hailed the discovery of a wreck off Scotland believed to be a Royal Navy warship sunk during World War I but still "virtually intact". The team found what it thinks is HMS Hawke -- which sank after being hit by a German torpedo in October 1914 -- in the North Sea earlier this week.

"Lost in Waters Deep", a group which searches for WWI shipwrecks in Scottish waters, spearheaded the years-long effort to find the warship. The team is now awaiting official confirmation from the Royal Navy after providing it with their findings.
