What to remember
USS Johnston lies at a depth of 6,460 m, or 21,180 ft. By reaching the wreck in 2021, Limiting Factor made the deepest wreck dive in history.
Limiting Factor is a deep-submergence vehicle, a crewed, self-propelled submersible. Such vehicles fall into two broad groups: research craft used for exploration and surveying, and rescue craft intended to help the crew of a sunken submarine.
The depth shown is where the wreck lies on the ocean floor.
