The USS Stewart, once called the 'Ghost Ship of the Pacific,' served in both the U.S. and Japanese navies during World War II.

A team of investigators says they have found the wreck of the USS Stewart, a U.S. Navy destroyer that served under both American and Japanese flags during World War II before it was deliberately sunk in a 1946 naval exercise. The USS Stewart, once called the 'Ghost Ship of the Pacific,' served on the front lines of World War II. It was stationed in Manila as part of the U.S.

Ocean Infinity deployed three autonomous underwater vehicles off the coast of Northern California on Aug. 1, 2024. The unmanned submersibles spent 24 hours searching the area, and when the data was reviewed, researchers saw the 'stunning and unmistakable image of a sunken ship 3,500 feet below the surface' of the Pacific Ocean. Sonar scans revealed that the ship is 'largely intact' and that its hull is nearly upright on the seafloor.
