From Southern California Public Radio.
The SS Montebello was sunk shortly after Pearl Harbor, December 23, 1941, by a Japanese submarine off the coast of Cambria and was carrying 3 million gallons of crude oil at the time. What is strange, though, is that very little or perhaps none of the crude oil has ever come up from the wreck.
The mystery is, what happened to the oil? The ship lies six miles off shore in 900 feet of water.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
