A team of scientists and explorers aboard the Exploration Vessel Nautilus has made a significant discovery by locating and imaging the bow of the World War II heavy cruiser USS New Orleans for the first time. This historic find occurred during a recent expedition in Iron Bottom Sound, located in the Solomon Islands, where the bow was found resting approximately 675 meters deep. The discovery was made possible through the use of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) that investigated a target identified during seafloor mapping operations conducted by the University of New Hampshire’s uncrewed surface vessel, DriX. This exploration not only sheds light on a pivotal moment in maritime history but also highlights the ongoing efforts to uncover and document underwater artifacts from past conflicts.
