Wreckage of USS Juneau Located by R/V Petrel Team

Wreckage from the USS Juneau was discovered on March 17, 2018 by the expedition crew of Paul G. Allen’s Research Vessel (R/V) Petrel. The Juneau was sunk by a Japanese torpedo during the Battle of Guadalcanal, ultimately killing 687 men aboard including all five Sullivan brothers. The Atlanta-class light cruiser was found 4,200 meters deep, resting on the floor of the South Pacific off the coast of the Solomon Islands.

Thank you for all your hard work in discovering these ships. Well done.

The torpedo that blew the cruiser away was meant to the heavy cruiser USS SAN FRANCISCO.

Depth charges still in the rack, that's amazing and somewhat frightening.

Can you put up longer videos? Would be better to see more of the wreck.

Wow that's her stern? She's messed up.

Explosion / implosion will do that 💥

She blew apart and disappeared in 20 seconds. A 540 ft ship. Gone.
