The USS Samuel B. Roberts, a US Navy destroyer sunk in World War II, was recently discovered at about 7,000 meters, according to a US research team. To date, this is the most “deep-sea” find of its kind. The previous record holder, the destroyer USS Johnston, rested at a depth of 6,500 meters.
Samuel B. Roberts “lost his head” during the assignment with the Japanese Navy for the Philippines in October 1944. The trade unions of the Caladan Oceanic Technology Company (Texas) used the Sammy B underwater aarat. Suddenly, a deep-sea robot found several depth charges in the stern area.
During the sea escalation, Samuel B. Roberts received several fatal injuries and sank. Of the 224 crew members who died, about 90 sailors. In total, in that battle in America, the Navy lost four ship.
