The US navy destroyer that was sunk during World War II has been found nearly 7,000 meters below sea level, making it the world's deepest wreck.

On October 25, 1944, the US forces fought to liberate the Philippines from the Japanese, and the ship Samuel B. Roberts went down.

A crewed submersible filmed, photographed, and surveyed the battered hull of the "Sammy B" during a series of dives this month.

The ship's gun mount was shown in the images.

Another video from the survey dive on the Sammy B. This one is from the starboard side near the bridge and forward gun mounts. We kept our distance because we spotted potentially live shells in the 40mm gun, and later towards the stern, depth charges still in their racks. pic.twitter.com/DY54o6Prpx

Caladan Oceanic founder Victor Vescovo said that it was the deepest wreck ever found.

The small ship fought the best of the Japanese Navy.

Many of Sammy B's crew died from wounds and shark attacks, according to US Navy records. The crew died of various causes.

The Battle of Leyte involved intense fighting between the US and Japanese forces.

There were four US ships that were sunk in October.

The world's deepest sunken ship was reached by Vescovo's team in 2011.

The team couldn't find the ship at more than 7,000 meters below sea level.

Due to the lack of reliable data, it did not look for the ship.

The wreck of the Titanic is located in a large body of water.
