beautiful water, and much respect for the sailors, and even the pilots who
flew their planes into the ship (based on fact they were willing to do it
for their country). I know there is a plaque on the ship, do people ever
make attempt to clean it off? I saw video the other day that was probably
taken maybe year ago and you could hardly read it. If I was diving, I
personally would try to scrap it off, make it more readable.
USS Emmons was a Gleaves class destroyer launched on August 23, 1941 and
commissioned on December 5, 1941. Her war career came to end when she was
badly damaged after be hit by 5 kamikazes and four near misses while picket
duty off Okinawa on April 6, 1945. She was sunk the next day on April 7,
1945, to make sure she didn't fall into enemy hands and after all salvage
efforts were abandoned.
the uss has been believed to be attacked by the zero planes which belonged
to the japanese navy. recently, an american diver found the aircraft engine
on the bottom close to the uss. based on his inforamtion a japanese diver
went diving there and found that the propellor was the one of army
surveillance plane according to the characters on it.
@AlexBoy123HBG Well, the main reason is safety and bottom time. Going
inside a wreck is always hazardous, and this wreck is deep enough that you
can't stay down very long without planning for decompression during ascent.
Also, it's wise to avoid touching the ship at all because there is a lot of
unexploded ordnance onboard...
Recently the plaque was stolen from the USS Emmons. Anyone with information
regarding who took it or it's location can talk to Ryan at Foster Tsunami
Scuba. Tell me and I'll be MORE THAN HAPPY to pass the word. NCIS is
conducting an investigation as well so hopefully they will catch whoever
stole it.
Wow, there really isn't very much of this ship left, collapsing in on its
self. I guess thats why DD's and DE's were called Tin Cans. Very
interesting video. I hope to someday see video of the 2 japanese destroyers
sunk at Wake Isalnd in 1941. Thanks for posting this.
@AlexBoy123HBG and another reason its a grave site around or 60 sailors and
the kamikaze pilot are still buried within in the ship. and out of respect
no one goes in their if you have ever seen cities of the underworld on
Okinawa you will see what im talking about.
Hi my name is Jenna Marks I am from Nova Scotia Canada. I am a student
making a film about sunken ships. I was wondering if I could use a little
of this footage as B footage in my film. Let me know if we can work
something out. email me at [email protected]
Geez, sunken ships freak me out! I`m not afraid of mutch, but deep/dark
water so u can`t see whats under me fucking scare the shit out of me. Also,
if i were able to see like 60 meters bellow me i might think that would
scare me to xD
A little less life than we've seen on some other trips to this wreck, but
still some pretty awesome fish to see down there... if you listen closely,
you can hear the whales that were migrating through the area!
This is such a cool hobby or job! I'd love to dive but my head always feels
like its going to explode if I get down below a measily 12 feet! I clear my
sinus too and it doesn't help : (
No. I do see what your getting at but then again its like someone going and
digging up your grave. Plus i can imagine the water in that thing is..no
less than horrible...
