I admit right up front that I haven't seen the video "Deep Secrets: The Ballard Gallipoli Expedition", because it wasn't made available to us journalist types prior to the program, which airs on the National Geographic channel Wednesday November 18th. All I know for sure is what is in the press kit.
However, by poking around on the Internet, I have discovered some information on the wreck illustrated in the photograph provided—it is the wreck of a Class E Australian submarine scuttled during the Battle of Çanakkale, on April 30, 1915. HMAS (His Majesty's Australian Ship) AE2 was identified in 1998 by an Australian team led by Mark Spencer; perhaps one of the topics discussed include new discoveries about that. Anyway, see the Reader's Guide to Expedition Week 2009 for what I was able to come up with.
