The Wreck of USS St. Lo - Victim of the Divine Wind

Описание к видео The Wreck of USS St. Lo - Victim of the Divine Wind

While sometimes a bit overshadowed by the Taffy losses, USS St. Lo is an important ship in her own right. Not for any great successes, no, but for being the first major warship lost to a dedicated Kamikaze attack. She was the first victim of what would become one of the most devastating Japanese tactics.

Over one hundred men lost their lives that day. And USS St. Lo slipped beneath the waves, lost until RV Petrel found her in 2019.

At that point, her well-preserved wreck became one of the most extensively covered of all the wrecks Petrel ever surveyed.
