It does not specifically say they were found. In any event after so long there would be nothing to find. Another IC BS article.

When they recovered the Hunley submarine and her entombed crew, the Confederate Sailors were all buried with full military honors. Are they planning a recovery operation? How far down is the wreck? Where is the link to a video so WE can FLY through the wreck? Details make for a good article!
