Default 30 incrible sunken wrecks from WWI and WWII

30 incredible sunken wrecks from WWI and WWII


Dec 28, 2022

World War I (1914 to 1918) and World War II (1939 to 1945) saw some of the biggest naval battles and operations in history, and shipwrecks from this era are scattered across the world's oceans — around 15,000 ships, and over 500,000 people, were sunk during World War II alone, according to some estimates. Voyages by sea were the main means of travel at the time of the world wars, and control of the oceans was a primary goal in both conflicts.

There are probably WW2 airplane and shipwrecks even deeper in the Marianas Trench that haven't been found yet. Challenger Deep, the lowest point anywhere on Earth is 36,000 feet deep and only a few humans have ever visited it. We know more about the surface of Mars than that place.

USS Hoel (DD-533) and Gambier Bay (CVE-73) could be even deeper than USS Johnston (DD-557) and Samuel B. Roberts (DE-413) at 21,180 ft. and 22,621 ft. respectively.
