There Is a Book on German Blockade Runners of World War II and No-Longer the Deepest Wreck Found

There is a book about the German blockade runners of World War II  "Axis Blockade Runners of World War II" by Martin Brice. 

The USS Omaha (CL-4) captured one of the German blockade runners and caused two others to sink.

**************************

Also, earlier I wrote that the SS Rio Grande was the deepest-shipwreck ever found.  It was, until the wreck of the destroyer USS Johnston (DD-557) was located.

On October 25, 1944, the Johnston and  two other destroyers and four  destroyer escorts were engaged by a large Japanese fleet in what is known as the Battle of Samar.  The Johnston and other American ships managed to drive the Japanese off, but the Johnston was sunk with  loss of 187 men.

The Johnston's wreck was discovered  on 30 October  2019, but not positively identified until March 2021.  Lying  more than 20,000 feet below the ocean surface, it is the  deepest shipwreck ever discovered.

(21,180 feet)
