Paragraph 1

An American ocean team has filmed the world's deepest known for the first time. The ship is a World War II US Navy battleship called the USS Johnston. It was sunk by the Japanese on October the 25th, 1944 during the Battle of Samar in the Philippine Sea. The wreck now sits on the floor at a depth of around 6,456 metres. The crew managed to go down to that incredible depth and darkness and map and film the shipwreck. They filmed the ship from a built submersible that can deal with the of the deep ocean. They discovered it was about 30 metres than previously thought. The filming took place during two eight-hour .
