USS Johnston (DD-557)
—
Caladan Oceanic announced this morning that they successfully relocated and surveyed the wreckage of the destroyer off Samar found by RV Petrel back in 2019. In a privately-funded expedition, they were able to go deeper than Petrel using the submersible DSV Limiting Factor, and discovered the main wreck, confirming the identify as USS Johnston (DD-557). Photos are from their website press release and show the bow, forward 5” guns, bridge, and torpedo tubes. The main wreck was found at a depth of 21,180’ (6,456m), making this officially the deepest shipwreck known to man.

Johnston was lost during the famous Battle off Samar as one of the escorts that defended the Jeep carriers of Taffy 3 against the Japanese onslaught from Yamato, Nagato, Haruna, Kongo, and supporting forces.
