The official computer-generated model of the shipwreck of the USS Johnston has been revealed. It is the very model prepared for the US Navy by Parks Stephenson, the expedition historian who actually dove on the wreck of the USS Johnston DD-557.
Amazing up-close photographs and video of the deep-water shipwreck of the heroic WW2 destroyer USS Johnston shocked the world, because at over four miles down, it was the deepest shipwreck ever to be discovered and explored at that time.
During a recent episode of the video podcast Museum Ship Mafia, a crossover broadcast of the 'Buffalo Naval Park', 'USS Slater', and 'History X' YouTube channels, the computer model was presented and compared to photos and video footage of the shipwreck.
