Just a couple of tidbits in the story which open up all sorts of possibilities.  Certainly the comments are interesting, covering the usual gamut of ignorance, interspersed with some very sensible suggestions.

Obviously a lot more needs to be disclosed before a final disposition can be made.

Seems this "news" is old and not to be believed ;):

Quote
On 18 February 2016, the web site World News Daily Report published an article reporting that a Nazi submarine had been discovered in Lake Ontario. As with all of World News Daily Report‘s content, the Nazi sub story was entirely fabricated. The article used an unrelated image of a rusting, decommissioned Russian submarine from the Cold War era to illustrate the claim, not a picture of a genuine World War II-era German U-boat.

The sub does not look like a German U-boat AT ALL, and you can see a blue-cross flag of St. Andrew flying on the conning tower:

The Russian Navy Ensign (Russian: Андреевский флаг; Russian Pre-reform: Андреевскій флагъ), also known as the St Andrews's flag, was the ensign of the Navy of the Russian Empire (from 1712 to 1918), and is the naval flag of the Russian Federation and the banner of the Navy of the Russian Federation since 1992.

Looks like I can add the World News Daily Report to my list of fake news sites.  Thanks for the update.  You can delete the posts to clean up the garbage if you wish.   :D

Looks like a NATO classification -  Soviet Victor ( II ?)

Too many Tom Clancy novels and a fascination for PC based submarine war game scenarios - shoot 'em ups never held the fascination the chess-like naval actions .

Looks like I'm just one of many to have been sucked in by this.  :o :(

This flag is the reverse of the Scottish flag (White cross on a Navy Blue background), yet both are known as St Andrew's Cross.
