Episode 6: Iron Bottom Sound: Graveyard of the Pacific

In one night, over 1000 Allied sailors died when 4 cruisers went down in flames. They rest in a graveyard littered with so many ships that it has become known as Iron Bottom Sound. Petrel undertakes a 'needle in the haystack' search to find the 4 ships.

Episode 5: USS Juneau: Brothers in Arms

Episode 4: USS Hornet: America Strikes Back

The Petrel team searches for the American aircraft carrier USS Hornet. The Doolittle Raid was launched off her deck to avenge Pearl Harbor. But six months later, the ship's life is cut short when the Hornet sails into a hornet's nest of Japanese ships.

Episode 3: Lady Lex: Queen of the Coral Sea

Episode 2: USS Ward: America's First Shot

Undersea explorers aboard the research vessel Petrel detect a wreck off the coast of the Philippines that fits the profile of an American destroyer. Could it be the wreck of the USS Ward, the ship that fired America's first shot of WW2 at Pearl Harbor?

Just weeks before WW2 ends, USS Indianapolis is violently sunk. 900 men go in the water, but no one searches for them. For 5 days they fight off exposure and shark attacks. It is the worst disaster at sea in U.S. Naval history.

Episode 8: USS Johnston: America's Deepest Loss

When research vessel Petrel picks up what they believe to be the debris trail of the USS Johnston, they are about 8,000 feet deeper than the Titanic wreck. A manned submersible is deployed, but will it put eyes on the deepest shipwreck in the world?
