The USS Johnston shipwreck was explored nearly 76 years after its sinking. Victor Vescovo piloted a submersible to the wreck's deep resting place. This expedition documented the courageous destroyer for the first time. The dives confirmed key identifying features of the sunken vessel. This exploration honored sailors and preserved historical battle information.
