No - USS Alligator, the U.S. Navy's first submarine, was cut loose during bad weather while being towed off of Cape Hatteras. It's not known if she sank immediately (unlikely) or drifted some time before sinking. As such, and due to the extreme weather the Hatteras area normally sees during hurricane season, the only way she'll ever be found (if ever) is by accident.
