Aft 5” Gun Mount, USS Samuel B. Robert’s
June 22, 2022, image provided by Caladan Oceanic, the aft gun mount of the USS Samuel B. Roberts can be seen underwater off the Philippines in the Western Pacific Ocean. (Caladan Oceanic via AP) On June 22, Vescovo's team and U.K.-bases EYOS Expeditions found the wreck of USS Samuel B. Roberts at a depth of 22,621 feet (6,985 meters), making it the deepest shipwreck ever discovered. Vescovo's team identified the ship broken into two pieces on a slope. The USS Samuel B. Roberts, popularly known as the "Sammy B," was destroyed by the far more superior Japanese warship during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest sea battle of World War II. That puts it 426 meters (1,400 feet) deeper than the USS Johnston, the previous deepest wreck.

Latest on HMNZS Manawanui
NZ says only minor diesel spill, most of the fuel burned. Locals say there is oil on the coast, and fishing boats have to avoid the area (increasing costs and time).
HMS Tamar recovered the Manawanui's log book.

Help! Looking for cool new wrecks to grow old with
Hello! I’m fascinated by shipwrecks, albeit on an amateur curiosity level. I’m no expert but I’m curious, love to read and am in awe of all of the knowledge on this subreddit!
I’m hoping that you can help me preposition some future joy for myself…
I love reading about ships, from their original voyages through to the fate that brought them to the seabed. So far, I’ve only learned about these either (a) long after their discovery (as I excitedly said to my bemused boyfriend over breakfast recently having stayed up too late reading about the San José, “the 80s just sound like they were a magical time for discovering ship wrecks!”) or (b) at the time of discovery but unfortunately I hadn’t heard of them before. For example Endurance, which I’ve been obsessed with learning everything about but was totally new to me when the global headlines about its discovery hit!
I feel like I’ve learned so much intellectually but I don’t have the knowledge to feel a connection when these famous boat that I’m as of yet unaware of are found. So my question is…
What are some missing vessels I could learn about and get emotionally invested in now, that may be discovered in my lifetime?
TL;DR - What are some cool still missing boats that could be found in the next 50 years?
Thank you so much in advance, lovely ship people of this subreddit! And sorry for the cheesy post title (:

Japanese Zero
Pilot most likely ran out of fuel returning to base and had to ditch. The aircraft’s serial number and date were still visible on the wreck. And military records showed that the plane went missing during the battle of Cape Gloucester in West New Britain on the 27th December 1943.

San José Galleon Cannons
The 64-gun San José was carrying some 7 million gold coins along with ingots, silver coins and gems to Spain during the War of the Spanish Succession when it was sunk by four Royal Navy warships on 8 June, 1708 near the port of Cartagena, with the loss of most of its 600 crew.
