Two tough American ships… went up against giant Jap cruisers…

Good bless those sailors… better men from from better days.

“...but the team were helped by a custom-built sidescan solar system...”

Bless all the nice people at CNN.

Glad to see the discoverer has a deep respect for those fighting men.

Rest in Peace.

Thread source compares the depth of the Samuel B Roberts to mountains.

For better perspective, the depth of the shipwreck is equivalent to 2.853 runs around the Texas Motor Speedway track.

I like the shot of the empty torpedo tubes. The Roberts gave them all she had.

I also like that someone is still exploring military shipwrecks. I thought that has stopped with Paul Allen’s death, and the family sidelining the RV Petrel.

My (late) father was on the destroyer USS Perkins dd377 during the battle of Leyte Gulf.

Everybody is fighting to be the next Josef Mengele.

Their lust for the blood of the innocent is sobering for our nation.

Those guys are probably the craziest warriors America ever produced. That was just insane on their part for a DE to attack a fleet of battleships. It was so insane the Japs were certain that they were the vanguard of something terrible and fled.

God bless them.
