Wreck of Teruzuki Found

27 Jul 2025

Within days of finding the bow of USS New Orleans in Savo Sound (nicknamed "Iron Bottom Sound"), the wreck of Japanese destroyer Teruzuki was discovered in the same region. The discovery was initially made by University of New Hampshire's remotely-operated surface vessel DriX, and the wreck got a visual inspection by remotely-operated submarine vehicles based off of research ship Nautilus. The wreck was located under about 2,600 feet (about 800 meters) of water, and the stern was detached from the rest of the wreck. The destroyer was sunk by torpedoes from American torpedo boats on 12 Dec 1942.
