- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- Video description: Over countless centuries, many military ships have been sunk mainly due to enemies fire while some are due to accidents or caused by human negligence. Military shipwrecks provide a window to the long histories of conflict, survival, and the history of destinies. Some wreckage have been found at shallow depth or few meters from the surface while some were found deep from the surface. This video presents the top 10 deepest Military Ship wrecks in history.
Enjoy watching. Cheers!

As I've mentioned before, my HS algebra teacher was on the USS Johnston. He was interviewed on this episode by History Channel. If we'd only known, we could have shaken his hand. I spoke, years ago, to the head of the USS Johnston Survivors Association, about Mr Hollenbaugh. He was tough, but very fair teacher.
Are you talking about the show Dogfights? I remember the episode involving the battle and the name is very familiar
I know someone who had a relative aboard the USS Reuben James when she went down.
@@Chrischi3TutorialLPs my teacher was on the History Channel, I was amazed at how calmly he recounted the experience. Met a Corsair pilot that was shot down over a Japanese held island, choosing to bail into shark infested waters. He was incredibly calm about the whole thing. A tough generation indeed.
@@richsmith7200 They were indeed a great generation! Many were leaders of youth groups I was in such as little league and 4-H. Then worked along side of them when I became an adult and joined the work force. Wonderful people.
Who asked ?
Fun fact: In the US, submarines are never considered lost. They are considered to be still on patrol. Also, the IJN Yamato alone outweighed all of taffy 3 combined.
Thats respect!
Eternal
Not sure I’d call that fun.
Thresher and Scorpion are port and starboard on eternal patrol. Hopefully nobody makes them three section, been a few close calls.
Mmm yes a ship “patrolling” that is stuck on the bottom of the sea 🤡
At the depth that the Roberts and Johnston rests, the pressure is ~ 10,000 psi. Considering sea level pressure is 14.7 psi, it’s pretty mind boggling.
Might wanna recheck your math on that one.
@@TK-593 - how about ~ 10,000 psi ? Corrected.
@@USNVA11 Yes much better, rounded out that's close enough.
Pressure on Johnston and Roberts shipwrecks
USS Johnston DD-557 - 21,222 ft. 9,510 PSI
USS Samuel B. Roberts DE-413 - 22,621 ft. 10,133 PSI
Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors by James Hornfischer is a great read about the Battle of Samar which involved the USS Johnston and USS Samuel B. Roberts.
Sadly Johnston got hit by Yamato guns and some shots from Chokai and Chikuma that seen not unfair because of tiny Destoryers vs Biggest battleship
USS Samuel B Roberts "The Destroyer Escort that fought like a Battleship"
Just it is, It is so sad Hornfischer died , I think he died from a brain tumor
RIP James Hornfischer - "Last Stand" is one of my favorite works on naval history.
Yes, that is a great book! Sadly we lost James D. Hornfischer to cancer recently.
I had a cousin who survived the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. He died in October 2005. Rest in peace S1C James Denny Price.
My Great Grandfather was on the first ship that arrived to rescue the survivors of the sinking
Huge respect to your cousin may he rest in peace. I can only imagine the courage he had to survive so long at sea.
The bravery of the men on the USS Johnston and USS Samuel B Roberts will never cease to amaze me, may those brave souls Rest In Peace
*cease.
Amen
There is no braver fight than that of the Roberts and the Johnston. The smallest against the greatest. Theirs was in the finest tradition os any navy anywhere, ever.
I like sailors that don't sink
@@jugo1944 they sacrificed themselves and single handedly took on an entire Japanese task force so that their own fleet could escape, and they succeeded
You forgot about the USS Hornet CV-8. A Yorktown Class aircraft carrier that the Doolittle Raid launched off of. Sunk on 27 October 1942 at the Battle of Santa Cruz. Found on 12 February 2019 at a depth of 17,500 feet or 5400 meters.
They also missed the Akagi (5490 meters), Kaga (5200 meters), Yorktown (5075 meters), and Lexington (3000 meters)-and probably a whole lot more. I figured that if you were going to miss some of the biggest names of WWII, I wasn't going to trust this for accuracy. 1680 meters struck me as being a really, really low starting point for military wrecks.
Forgot the Lexington sank during Coral Sea in early 1942 right before midway.
I guess HMAS Sydney at 8,097 ft (2,468 M) with a loss of all hands 19th November 1941 doesn't count either
Johnston couldnt keep the crews' steel balls afloat any longer.
Nah it got bored of fighting the Japanese and went to fight the devil himself
Captain Evans balls were too much for the ship before you added the rest of the crews balls
Damn... you beat me to my comment referring to how the engineering how heavy the testicles on these men were and how the ships were able to float at all amazed me.. rest in peace
My uncle, who I never got to meet, died along with 1100 other soldiers on the HMT Rohna. Sunk in the Mediterranean by a guided German bomb. One of the first thought to be used in combat. The inventor of the guiding device was forced to fly the bomb. Apparently he was affected mentally by it the rest of his life. Not alot of people know about it.
Nov. 26 1943. R.I.P. Uncle Tony.
Please except my sincerest condolences to you and the rest of your family for your loss.
May your heroic uncle RIP. 💔 🙏
Heroic is right . R.I.P to your Uncle Tony
Bless the men of the Johnston and Samuel B Roberts they fought valiantly. The Gambier Bay and St Lo are down there with them somewhere. My Father Kenneth McLaughlin served on the Gambier Bay.
The only warships that isn't found yet was the USS Hoel & Gambier Bay. of TAFFY 3.
God bless all of those men... personally I find it a pretty amazing feat of engineering... the fact these men had massive testicles made of cast iron.... and the weight involved im surprised these ships were able to float at all... men of Valor and men of honor... they don't make them like this anymore that's for sure.
@@joevicmeneses8918 ...My grandfather was on the Gambier Bay. He got a nice corkscrew shaped piece of shrapnel in his knee.
The Johnston and the "Sammy B" were sunk during the same battle just a few thousand yards apart, yet their depths differ by 1400 ft.
Both went down in the Philippine Trench, the third deepest ocean trench in the world. The wrecks are lying on a steep slope that rapidly drops off to much greater depths. The U.S.S Hoel and Gambier Bay were also lost here, and it's thought the Gambier Bay lies under much deeper water than either the Johnston or Samuel B. Roberts.
my first dog was called Sam.
@@neilfleck4178after your uncle?
TGP- I think my mum called him that after she called miners 'black sam's'
@@neilfleck4178lmao
I was pretty amazed by the condition of the Indianapolis, Johnston, and Samuel B Roberts after nearly 80 years, compared to what ships like the Titanic looked like after the same period. Maybe the organisms that eat other shipwrecks can’t survive that deep.
Taffy 3 is a legend in the navy, its sad that most Americans don't even know about it....rip boys...
History has not served the Men who fought off Samar that 25 October 1944 fairly. It was the greatest battle in IS Navy History.
I grew up in Atlantic City and we lost one of own on the Sammy B.....Seaman Charles Natter.....his name is inscribed on the Atlantic City WW II memorial.
Fun fact: no one actually knows what happened to the USS Scorpion, for the actual reason for her sinking is unknown, people can only speculate. The K-129 was also a submarine that was lost with all hands, but again, no one knows exactly why, it could have been a issue with her batteries, human error, or some speculate she might have collided with the USS Swordfish, another submarine that collided with something (officially ice) and damaged it's periscope.
What happened to the USS Scorpion SSN598 is KNOWN, just not to the public. THE U.S. NAVY’S SUPPRESSION OF THE FACTS SURROUNDING THE LOSS OF the Scorpion began in earnest five days after it disappeared, when the submarine failed to arrive in port as scheduled. The Scorpion’s sinking had been tracked by the Navy’s top-secret Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS), a network of underwater acoustic sensors used to monitor and track both submarines and surface vessels. The SOSUS hydrophones in the Atlantic did hear the explosion.
Additionally, a Soviet submarine was tracked leaving the area at a high rate of speed. Upper Navy Leadership knew of the SOSUS Data and never released it thanks to Vice Admiral Schade. It's clear they were sunk by a hostile act.
Vice Admiral Schade then confirmed a finding of the Court of Inquiry that a Soviet naval exercise that included at least one nuclear submarine was underway southwest of the Canary Islands. “We had general information of a [Soviet] task force operating over in that general area. So we advised [Scorpion] to slow down, take a look, see what they could find out."
In the tense hours of May 22-23, 1968, the Senior Officers who crowded into the COMSUBLANT message center arrived already knowing that the Scorpion was lost-and why.
It's amazing how deep we as humans, have dived. I'm sure we will find another shipwreck deeper than the Roberts. All honors to those who perished on these ships
The Sammy B and Johnston are sunk hours each other in Battle of samar in 1944
@TELEGRAM ME AT THE BUZZ 1 your name?
No mention of USS Yorktown (CV-5)? At 16,650 ft, it's deeper than K-129
also no mention of Akagi or Kaga found at depths of around 18,000 feet
i guess its a video for the masses, because where is hornet, akagi and kaga?
@@sr.tortillas1530 but those are four (Yorktown, Hornet, Akagi, Kaga) of the most famous carriers of WW II. If the masses have forgotten them, our species is indeed in dire straits.
@@RENEGADEJon19 arnt we in dire straits?
I was on the expedition that found Yorktown in 1998. She will never be forgotten.
Samuel B. Roberts the courageous destroyer escort in US navy lore the destroyer escort that fought like a battleship
She also lost a wheel on her first deployment when she struck a whale
To put their bravery in perspective, the Samuel B. Roberts weight less than a singe main gun turret of the IJN Yamato, the largest ship in the Japanese fleet of 4 battleships. 6 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers, and 11 destroyers she - and 6 other (escort-) destroyers - took on. That's not to discount the resistance the 6 escort carriers - who were totally unsuited for a surface engagement - tried to put up while trying to get away, but the (escort-) destroyers actually went on the counter-offensive against an enemy fleet where the lead battleship was heavier than the entire US task-force combined.
Fun Fact, Robert Ballard who found The Titanic, and Bismarck, ALSO found Thresher and Scorpion as well. As a matter of fact The US Military funded his Titanic expedition only if he was able to find the Thresher and Scorpion first.
I don't know about Thresher, but Scorpion was found not all that long after it was lost by the Navy based on data analysis from Navy scientist Dr. John Craven, along with missing warheads and the sunken Soviet sub in the Pacific. Craven was also thoroughly convinced that Scorpions loss was due to a defective torpedo and years later received evidence that seems corroborate it, but that's a story the Navy doesn't want told. Eventually, it DID come out in the book Blind Man's Bluff, which also chronicles Craven's Navy career.
There is much more to _Robert Ballard_ that has yet to be declassified. I was there. Heck of a guy.
True the government funded his mission and I believe he found what they wanted him to find earlier then planned so he went on to find the titanic
Good Report saying exactly what your title says. That is rare in YT videos lately. Interesting that the last two deepest US Navy ships are from the same battle and fought side by side. Happy Trails
Sadly, not exactly true. As others have mentioned already, there are wrecks deeper than these 10 mentioned (USS Yorktown CV-5 is for example at around 5 000 m deep, therefore deeper than all the first 6 wrecks mentioned in this video)
Most are Cold War era ships only except 3 out of them? The USS Wasp (4350m), USS Hornet (5550m), IJN Kaga (5400m), IJN Akagi (5300m), USS Yorktown (5100m), IJN Chokai (5170m), HMS Hood (2840m) and USS Lexington (3050m) are not considered as military ships???
It's a video not made for us. If it was, we would be having a video the length of Titanic & Star Wars combined.
@@BattleshipOrion yep
USS Johnston and USS Samuel B Roberts were WWII
Don't worry, the Yamato and Musashi, the largest battleships ever made during WWII, aren't considered military ships either.
Why the hell are you smoking; all of the ships are military ships
Fun fact: the USS America was never lost. She was fired on and used for three weeks as a target ship, then sunk on purpose. 😢 I served on her in 1981 Med/IO cruise.
Did you notice they spelled "America" wrong? Amateurs.
The kicker is that the USS Gambier Bay escort carrier, also a part of Laffy 3 that the Johnston and Sammy B were a part of, is said to have sunk at an even DEEPER depth than Sammy B. The same team that found Johnston and Sammy B. are looking for GB as well.
That’s kinda crazy to think about honestly considering how deep Sam and John are.
USS Gambier Bay, not Gambler.
@@Southern_Yankee I know. stupid auto correct.
My Father Kenneth McLaughlin WT/3 served on Gambier Bay. He passed in 1969 when I was 3. My hope is that it is found before I pass. Same goes for Hoel she should be found as well. I’d like to go to San Diego and see the Taffy 3 Memorial.
The USS Johnston is officially too badass to die, and is only held on the seabed by the weight of her captain and crew's truly elephantine balls
Capt. Edwards is such a hero.
A comment only a 12 year old could make. Grow up, son...soon.
Samuel B. Roberts even had to show up everyone when sinking, the little overachieving tin can.
It always blows my mind how deep the ocean is. It’s really hard to imagine something man made being that deep
Kola super deep borehole 40k feet deep 12k meters
It's actually not THAT Deep 💯 The Distance between the Bottom of the Ocean (Mariana Trench) and the highest point (Mount Everest 🏔️) is only 11 Miles apart Top to Bottom..
4.284 miles is really deep for a shipwreck.
Not realistic
@@frankisabelle1211 I think his remark was meant to be......slightly sarcastic.
EWE?
for you.
In addition to other wrecks identified here in the comments, in the same area the IJN Heavy Cruiser Chokai was found nearby at approx. 20,000 ft
idk how recent this video is, but the Japanese aircraft carriers Akagi and Kaga have been found, with Akagi being aroun 18000 feet
I know Thresher. My grandfather was supposed to serve on her and he would have died in that accident if it wasn't for his orders coming 3 days late. By then, thresher already sunk. He then got transfered to the just launched at the time USS Jack SSN-605.
Just watched the discovery of USS Samuel B Roberts yesterday, so sad but grateful she was found, for the relatives of the brave sailors on this ship.
Same it was a good video rip to all those brave souls who died on that ship
Minor quibble - only 316 of roughly 1200 men from the Indianapolis survived the sinking. About 600 died in the water, many from sharks, before being belatedly rescued. The way it is mentioned in the vid makes it seem only 300 died.
I was on the Scorpion Operation with the bathyscaph Trieste II. They took pictures of the wreck
The USS Indianapolis had a total of 317 survivers, giving the city of Indianapolis it's area code (317). I'm from Indianapolis and there are many memorials dedicated to it throughout the city. A couple of which, stand along the White River Canal that runs through the city.
Theirs actual 1 left from the sinking of the ship his name is Harold Bray and he was born in 1927 I believe don't quote me on that
I didn't know that U.S.S. America had been scuttled. I remember seeing it moored next to us when I served onboard the Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71). Easily identified (outside of its hull number) because it was the only carrier that we had with the front of the superstructure painted black with the yellow AB rate contrasting it. Thanks for the info!
@The Buzz there are a lot more famous warship wreck that are either at the same depth of the ship you had listed, or even found deeper than them, for example HMS Hood is found lying on the seabed at approximately 3700 meters deep, the 3 found midway wrecks(Yorktown, Akagi, Kaga) are all resting at more than 5000 meters deep, the same also applies to USS Lexington sunk at Coral Sea, also at 5000m+, seriously.
Thank you. This video is low quality, badly researched.
I was in elementary school when the first of the ships mentioned, the Komsomolets, sank. One of the more remarkable things I remember reading about from that sinking was that one of the surviving crewmen actually went down with the submarine when it sank. He and a 4 other crew members, including the captain of the vessel, were in the enclosed and submersible lifeboat and were having trouble freeing it from the ship. The impact of the sub hitting the ocean floor actually jarred the lifeboat loose and allowed it to rise back to the surface. According to the survivor, three of the other men inside had suffocated due to not putting on oxygen masks, and the fourth was killed when the lifeboat surfaced and he struck his head on the hatch. The survivor just barely managed to get out before the lifeboat sank back to the ocean floor.
Either im understanding it wrong or ur saying that humans survived 1600m under water?
@@David-vz4yk nor uman:
SOVIETS.
@@David-vz4yk That's correct. There were four people in the life rescue apparatus. They could not detach it when the boat was sinking so they went all the way down with the submarine. When the boat hit the bottom the bell got detached and went up. One of the four men in the bell was the submarine commander. According to the only survivor the boat commander lost consciousness on the way up to the surface. When the bell surfaced only one of the four survived. He was the CPO. Don't remember the name. The boat was awarded the Red Banner Order way before the disaster so it had nothing to do with it. The award was given for record breaking dive. The Komsomolets is still the only military submarine that dived to the depth of 1000 meters. That dive took place several years before the disaster.
Skipped the Soviet Yankee-class K-219 after it had missile fuel explosions, fire, and an overheating reactor in 1986. The ship survived the aforementioned emergencies thanks to the brave crew but then sunk while in tow back to the USSR. It rests about 6000m deep in the Atlantic.
My grandfather was on the Thresher. My fathers step brother was on the Scorpion when it went down also.
Glad I got kicked out of sub school after all,jumped command chain...
In the small country church graveyard where grew up is a headstone with the name of a Sailor lost on the USS Indy. I say just a headstone based on the inscription: "Lost At Sea June 1945 USS Indianapolis" None of the family was left by the time I was old enough to understand.
"Out of the cold foggy night came the British ship the hood, And every British seamen, he knew and understood"

Wow thats deep
the depth of the ocean is just crazy... the continents are just giant mountains.
Captain Evens brass balls is why that wreck is so deep
Evans
I could be wrong but if I remember correctly, some of the survivors reported Evans did get off the ship and was in the water with the crew but he was also severely injured. By the time rescuers came to pick them all up, he was nowhere to be found.
With the exception of Mariana deep - Philippines has one of the deepest ocean in the world.
They believed Philippine deep is rich of the next generation energy called DEUTERIUM which was trapped
along the trench of the West Philippines sea.
Deuterium is basically a Hydrogen atom with a neutron, making it just an isotope of Hydrogen (its also known as heavy hydrogen), also Earth's sea water has ~150ppm of heavy hydrogen and the ocean covers ~70% of earth's surface, and that its not really an energy as deuterium alone is really useless, its used in nuclear fusion along with other light atoms/isotopes to form heavier atoms while releasing energy. One thing to note is that normal nuclear fusion are only feasible at a temperature of 10^9 Celcius [which means you also need energy to get enough KE out of the atoms so they are close enough together to undergo nuclear fusion], so we're still far away from being able to harness nuclear fusion as an energy option
Going down in a sinking sub is a scary thought....likelihood of surviving basically zero.
Wow. Sammy B really fell off the shelf there.
"The last stand of the tin can navy" tells the story of the Samar battle. What a fight these destroyers put up. The Yamato weighed more than the American "Taffy" ships combined.
Fun fact: Uss johnston took ariund 30-40 shells before it sank and it's leader lost 2 finger and still commands the ship. What a chad
Cuz Admiral Karita believed Johnston was a cruiser due to Johnston's initial extremely brave torpedo attack on Kumano and that due to the fact that Karita doesn't have a recognition chart for CVEs, thus he thinks the CVE group were Fleet CVs thus its escorts HAS to be CAs/CLs/BBs... so Johnston has only been hit by AP shells (thus mostly over pen lol) while Gambia Bay and Samuel B Roberts were unfortuantely recognised as a very small ship thus some ships used HE to attack those 2 after idk how many AP salvos, and not long after their respective target switched to HE, the CVE and DE soon sank
Narrator is killing me. Only made it 7 seconds in. Sur-FACE
Has to be a robot
Technically all US Submarines that are lost to sea and kept on the US NAVY registry and are listed as “On Patrol” continuously.
That’s interesting
On eternal patrol actually
Creepy.👻👻👻👻
My mom's family was caught smuggling food into a pow/concentration camp, and as punishment, all males, teenage and older were forced into high-risk military units. None survived except my grandfather who snuck across enemy lines and surrendered to the British and spent the last part of the war helping them. Her cousin ,Otto, was 14 when he was sent to survive on the Bismark . He died when he was 16.
Submarine folks are a whole different breed. My claustrophobia would go nuts. My brain can't 'compute' how they do it.
At 4:50 -- the photo of the K-129 at the bottom of the ocean. A part of the wreckage looks like a skull, almost in the center of the photo, on the tall structure, top left of the ship -- it almost looks like it's looking down at the rest of the ship.
not only robert Ballard found the Bismarck James cameron did as well, its a shame he didnt do a documentary of these ships as well
So not the deepest military ship wrecks, just the deepest military shipwrecks that you think we should know about.
Amazing how they all sank like … Right next to each other
With the convenience of stepped platforms. And how randomly 300 miles west of Brest is right next to somewhere in the Baltic.
I have always been curious about the total number of shipwrecks in the world's oceans, . . .it must be in the 100s of thousands or even higher.
I think it's pretty cool (and a little eerie ngl) that the USS Sameul (Samuel?) B's wreckage was discovered on my birthday.
That’s kinda dope tbh
And my birthday happens to be on the same day as when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, 12 / 07 lmao
Non profit PROJECT 52 has been looking for the 52 submarines that sank in the Pacific during WWII. They have found 6 of the submarines.
46 more subs left
My brother, Jack was a radioman on the USS Grayback, one of the ones found S.E. of Okinawa in 1400 feet on 5 June 2019.......On Eternal Patrol.....
I wish she would have gone more in depth on this *Sir Face* character she kept referring to during several of the stories in this video. I really wondered why he memorialized many, but not ALL of the, ships by having them lie below him! I need to know more!
There's not much to tell about Sir Face. He's a shallow sort.
@@jeffengel2607 pretty one dimensional if ya ask me.
Isn't it a bit strange that the top 5 deepest military shipwrecks all happen to be American ships?
4:08 at one point yes but think about that this Ship lost its entire armament and was basically a burning firepit and still AFLOAT. It tanked so many hits that it would probably lasted even longer if it not where self destructed
The aircraft carrier (CV-66) was not a military ship after 1996 (it sank in 2005). It was retired from service and was decommissioned on 9 August 1996
CV-66 was very much a military ship when sunk. She was a sinking exercise target ship.
She was a Kitty Hawk class supercarrier.
@@genericnamehere7602 all cv from cv 66 onward are nuclear the kitty hawk and the Connie cv 63 And cv 64 are forrestal class cv
@@ansonarnold1584 No. CV-67, the John F Kennedy, was still a conventional CV, the last Kitty Hawk. The true mass produced Nuclear Carriers started with the Nimitz class.
Kitty Hawk sisters are as follows...Kitty Hawk, Constellation, America and Kennedy.
@@genericnamehere7602 the last Forrest class cv was cv 64 all cv from cv 65 forward were nuclear
Great stories
Has a sub ever sunk and someone was able to survive? The very nature of the sub would imply an all or no one survival rate. That’s kinda why they get the best food.
The Johnson was a bad ass ship. I went to the the U.S.S America decommissioning ceremony and her Farwell Ceremony before she was sunk.
This list leaves out USS Yorktown, CV-5, sunk following the Battle of Midway on June 7, 1942 and discovered lying upright and mostly intact on the bottom under about 5,000 meters of water by Robert Ballard on May 19, 1998.
And Lady Lex lost @ Coral Sea right before Midway
Pretty wild to think there's probably still human remains with most of these wrecks too.
In saltwater the bodies do eventually break down despite the cold. Microscopic organisms eat away at the remains.
At those depths it's highly unlikely. Bodies dissolve at those pressures. Look at the boots found on the sea floor around the Titanic, and realize those boots are all that remains of the wearers.
@Howard Smith actually, that's more of an unproven myth. Ballard and his team initially thought that's why the shoes were there, but later they realized that it didn't make much sense.
Any bodies that went down with the ship would've been trapped inside in small nooks, now probably buried in the mud or under wreckage in the interior of the wreck. Any bodies on the outside would not have stayed with the ship on its way down to the seabed. The bodies would've been buoyant and floated around in the currents for a while. If the body wasn't nabbed by marine critters while it was in the open water, it would have drifted a long ways from the wreck on its 2-mile trek to the bottom.
The shoes in the images are most likely the remains of the contents left from decayed knapsacks or suitcases that were blown out of the wreck when it impacted the seabed.
Having walked the decks and passageways on the USS America, I occasionally think about this magnificent warship resting on the ocean floor. I miss this ship, but at least I have the memory of her greatness. She was a spirited warrior. Rest in peace. At least the country didn't scrap her.
This video is narrated by Mantis from guardians of the galaxy
Just imagine, the Samuel Roberts is almost TWICE as deep as Titanic!
Takes awhile to sink in that distance straight down eh...smh
And sometimes sunk on like the
USS.Oriskany cv-34 was sunk to create a artificial reef off of Florida
Explorers found the USS Samuel B. Roberts 22,916 feet deep in the Philippine Sea.
Three Ships are missin laying in a depth of around 5,000 metres. The USS Yorktown CV-5, The IJN Akagi and the IJN Kaga. Kaga and Akagi were discovered in 2019 Yorktown in 1998
Rip to all those young men perished ........
They found IJN Kaga at below 17,000 feet in 2019.
Wow! These depths are absolutely ridiculous! Not even close to actual depths.
Of course, the fucking USS Johnston of all ships had to be the deepest shipwreck in history. Because when you lead a bunch of destroyers and escort carriers into battle against ships whose turrets displace more than each of the destroyers you are leading, you might as well end in style.
Samuel B Roberts is deeper
It was sank as a target ship (in 2000) but the USS Buchanan and the K-8 are roughly at the same depth, with latter of the two being only 100 feet difference.
These will slowly decay away, turning into iron oxide on the seabed, just a red dust. However there is still another 2-3 centuries left before they are decayed away into nothing, so many of the remaining ones will be found with newer technology.
They might find the USS Gambier Bay at deeper depths than the USS Johnston and USS Samuel D Roberts. She also sank during the Battle off Samar and the researchers did not find her in the 7000 meters depths they were looking at. So, she might be even deeper than that
I watched a video recently about the illicit salvaging of sunken war ships around the area of Indonesia. The British Battleships HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales were both salvaged and have, to some degree, disappeared. The steel from these ships are in demand for they are made of steel unaffected by atomic atmospheric testing. They mentioned the Samuel B. Johnson could be in danger. It is shocking anyone would do this. More people need to hear about this. Here is a link to one video. ruclips.net/video/k9iRRBT1z54/видео.html
You should make a remake of this video as nearly all of the ships were Cold War ships.
you figure the nuke missles would detonate under the pressure
Scary that that’s Mount Everest underwater them depths 😬
The wrecks of the Battle of Midway ships, Yorktown, Kaga, Akagi, are all at depths in excess of 5,000m and not on this list.🤷♂️
Germany didn't use hull-prefix codes. Bismarck shouldn't be designated 'KMS'
They did in the Imperial Navy (SMS, short for Seiner Majestät Schiff), but not the WW2 era ships like Bismarck.
Very good
The Johnston, The Saint Lo, and the Gambier Bay were all sunk in the Battle of Late Gulf.
Those enemy fires are rough..
HMAS Sydney 2468m/8097 ft.
Good video
I was impressed with howard hughs last project.a ship,with a big grabby claw that could reach miles down and grab a sub off the bottom.only used once though
It was the CIA's project. They used him (with his knowledge and consent) as a cover story.
@@shotforshot5983 Glomar Explorer
The glomar explorer. Seems it was a cia operation posing as a geology project or something . Engineering feat par exelante.
It was intended to recover Soviet submarine wrecks for espionage purposes.
Is there any chance these subs that sank with nuclear weapons on board could still be contaminating the area around them? What are the chances some of the fish being caught have excessive radiation?
Dang! Same guy who found titanic found Bismark. Kudos
Interesting information, I enjoy these little nuggets of findings. The accent can be distracting however.
the USS Samuel B Roberts (DE-413) was a Destroyer ESCORT not a Destroyer
It falls under the destroyer category. Just like how a BBV is still a battleship despite it officially being an aviation battleship. Same with SSVs
@@terribleduck4046 you're full of it a Destroyer Escort is a separate ship category of its own Destroyer Escorts were basically built to escort the slower ships and submarine patrols as they were small lighter and even less protected than a Destroyer.
@@terribleduck4046 The US Destroyer Escorts arose from the Royal Navy's requirement for small ASW escort vessels that could operate on the ocean at speeds UP TO 20 knots. These were designed to escort the merchant convoys to free up the larger, more capable but far more expensive Fleet Destroyers from the role.
In the Royal Navy Destroyer Escorts were not even called Destroyers, they were designated as Frigates, indeed in 1975 the USN agreed with the RN's designations and named all such craft in the USN as Frigate (FF).
WWII Frigates were never designed for the Destroyer role, they were specialised ASW/AA ships that prioritised endurance over speed and were designed SPECIFICALLY to escort slower ships. They generally had limited anti shipping armament.
Destroyers by contrast were larger, faster, and in most cases had a more balanced armament allowing them to conduct ASW/AA as well as anti shipping roles. There were a few designs that specialised somewhat, the Royal Navy had some for example that were more geared to ASW protection of the Fleet, and others geared more towards anti shipping, such as the Tribal Class. Most however had a balanced armament layout.
In short, Destroyer Escorts are not Destroyers, despite the name, they are a separate class of ships, a fact recognised in the name by every Navy in the World EXCEPT the US Navy, at least until 1975, when ships that fulfilled the role of DE's in the USN were redesignated Frigates.....
IN ORDER TO BE A DE...IT HAS TO HAVE 4 NUMBERS
IE....DD 1143....IT HAS ONLY 3 NUMBERS ..WHICH MAKES IT A DD( DESTROYER) NOT A DE
@@williamwitzke953 wrong not in WWII
Hearing how those nuclear submarine wrecks are leaking radiation makes me never to want to eat fish sticks ever again!!!!! RIP to All those dead submariner's!!!!!
