Lost wreckage of WWII ‘Ghost Ship of the Pacific’ rediscovered 78 years after it was deliberately sunk

A WORLD War II US Navy destroyer dubbed the “Ghost Ship of the Pacific” has been rediscovered 78 years after it was deliberately sunk and left to rest at the bottom of the ocean.

The warship, officially known as USS Stewart (DD-224), was found and pictured by undersea explorers off the coast of northern California, where it lay almost 3,500 feet beneath the water’s surface.
