According to Wikipedia the wreck was found in 2009 and this article was about when it was first imaged. Although it isn't clear to me why exactly the Independence needed to be found in the first place since it was intentionally scuttled. Was the location of the ship classified? Or was the record keeping from the 1940s so bad they the Navy didn't record the location of a scuttled ship or listed it as something vague like "off the Farallon Islands"?
