USS Samuel B. Roberts (DE-413) has been discovered 22,600 feet under the Pacific, making it the deepest wreck ever identified. The Sammy B became known as the "destroyer escort that fought like a battleship" for putting up a fierce fight against Japanese heavy cruisers before being sunk during the Battle off Samar in 1944.

There were two more ..

The second vessel was the USS Samuel B. Roberts (DD-823), a Gearing-class destroyer, 1946-1970.
The third one was the USS Samuel B. Roberts (FFG-58), an Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided missile frigate, 1986-2015.

Yup, I remembered it!!!

The name looks familiar because a fatal damage to her by an Iranian mine, caused the one day war between US and IR, caused severe damages and manpower losses to Iranian Navy.

The 3rd one is the one that was damaged during Iran - Iraq war!!!
