The Shipwreck
The shipwreck of the Uranami has not yet been found, although Kinu was discovered by divers from the USS Chanticleer (ASR-7) on 15 July 1945 in about 150 ft (50 m) of water. Uranami sank about 13 miles (21 km) away, and is probably at a similar depth, which would place it within the reach of technical divers.
