Our Corps of Exploration was lucky enough to explore the 106-meter-long Benson-class destroyer USS Laffey. The ship sank on November 12, 1942, after sustaining a torpedo strike during the First Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. Our team collected high-quality images and video of the wreck, including of the ship’s torpedo tubes and the ruins of the deck. A highlight of the dive was identifying the Laffey’s builder’s plaque showing the ship’s name and builder information.
