USS Samuel B Roberts: World's deepest shipwreck discovered
Explorers have found the deepest shipwreck ever identified, a US navy Destroyer Escort sunk during WWII.
The USS Samuel B Roberts went down during The Battle off Samar in the Philippines in October 1944. It lies in 6,895m (4. 28 miles) of water.
Texan billionaire and adventurer Victor Vescovo, who owns a deep-diving submersible, discovered the " Sammy B" battered but largely intact.
The vessel is famed for a heroic final stand against the Japanese.
Outnumbered and outgunned, it managed to contain and frustrate several enemy ships before finally Going Down .
Of the Samuel B Roberts' 224-man crew, 89 were killed. The 120 survivors had to cling to life rafts for 50 hours before being rescued.
Mr Vescovo, a naval reservist in his time, said it was an extraordinary honour to locate The Lost ship and by doing so have the chance to retell its amazing story of heroism and duty.
" We like to say that steel doesn't lie and that The Wrecks of these vessels are The Last witnesses to the battles that they fought, " he told Bbc News .
" The Sammy B engaged the Japanese heavy cruisers at point Blank Range and fired so rapidly it exhausted its ammunition; it was down to shooting smoke shells and illumination rounds just to try to set fires on the Japanese ships, and it kept firing. It was just an extraordinary act of heroism. Those Men - on both sides - were fighting to the death. "
In the imagery captured by The Adventurer 's sub, the Limiting Factor, it's possible to see hull structure, guns and torpedo tubes.
The Sammy B has puncture holes from Japanese shells and there is evidence in the stern quarter of one massive hit.
From its crumpled appearance, it appears the vessel impacted the seafloor bow first.
To give a sense of how deep the Resting Place is, 98% of The World 's ocean bottom is less than 6,000m deep. It's only The Great tectonic trenches that are deeper Still .
