However, Swedish Navy spokesman Capt. Bo Rask said Thursday there were no signs the submarine had been damaged by weaponry, but a metal wire

The submarine, a Whiskey-class vessel from the 1950s that was once common in the Soviet navy, was discovered by chance during a seabed survey.

The wreck lies on the seabed in the Swedish economic zone. Some hope that the find will finally prove that Sweden were subject to repeated intrusions by former Eastern bloc submarnes during the 1980s.

S-7 was a Stalinets-class submarine of the Soviet Navy. During World War II, the submarine took part in the Soviet submarine Baltic Sea campaign in 1942. S-7 scored victories, but was sunk in action.

In the 1930s, the Soviet Union built a series of submarines called the S class, based on German designs.

In the summer of 1942, the S7 sank the Swedish cargo ships Margareta and Luleå, delivering iron to Germany. Shortly after, the sub was cruising on the surface at night, off the Swedish coast not far from Norrtälje, when she was spotted by the Finnish submarine Vesihiisi. The Vesihiisi fired one torpedo and the S7 sank quickly.
