The Caradan Ocean Corporation in the United States said on the 25th that they found a U.S. Navy destroyer that was sinking during the Second World War in the sea under the sea near the sea near the Philippines, refreshing the deepest sink records in the world.
This marine exploration company said that during the 8 -day dive event this month, a manned submersible for the "Samuel B. Roberts" (referred to as the "Sami B") Video, camera and survey were performed. From the photos taken, you can see the three torpedo launch devices and cannons of the ship.
The founder of this company and the driver of the submersible Victor Wescowo wrote on Twitter: "It is located at 6,895 meters under the (underwater) and is the deepest shipping ship currently discovered and surveyed. The warship fights with the elite ship of the Japanese Navy and fights them to the end. "
On October 25, 1944, the "Sami B" sank in a battle near Sama Island in central Philippines. At that time, the Philippines, as the American colonies, was occupied by the Japanese army, and the US and Japanese navy fought in the Philippine waters.
According to the U.S. Navy's records, the crew of the "Sami B" floated at sea for nearly three days to wait for rescue, and many people eventually died of injuries or died in the mouth of sharks. Of the 224 crew members, 89 people died.
The "Sami B" is one of the four US warships sunk in Sama Island. Wescovo's team found another US warship "Johnston", which was sunk on the same day near the bottom of Sama Island near Sama Island in 2021. Before the "Sami B", the "Johnston" was the deepest shipwreck that had been confirmed.
In this underwater exploration activity, Karadan Ocean also tried to find the U.S. military carrier "Gandol Gulf", which was also sunk by the Japanese army in Sama Island, but failed to find its position.
The most famous shipwreck in history may be the "Titanic". The largest passenger ship in the world at that time hit the iceberg on the way from the United Kingdom to New York from Britain in 1912, sank on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
