Submarine wreckage found at 91m depth
The U.S. Navy has successfully identified the wreck of a World War II-era submarine, named USS Herring (SS-233), which was lost in June 1944 off the coast of Japan. It was carrying 83 sailors. The wreck is situated at a depth of over 300 feet near Matsuwa Island and is in good condition, showing damage to the conning tower consistent with a battle in which it was targeted by Japanese forces. This discovery marks an important step in documenting the submarine’s fate. The site is considered a respectful maritime grave, protected under U.S. law, and the final details of the battle and the crew’s loss are being documented for the first time.
